New project.......Schumacher SST chassis - MSE Mouse Droid...?

Continuing on from this post.........

So a few week’s back, I spent some lunchtimes, cleaning the chassis of this RC.
I started to strip the car down piece by piece to service the broken/damaged parts. Namely the rear differential and the belt(s). One of them being broken. A stone had got trapped between the belt and the gears and chewed up both, breaking the belt itself.

The chassis was, I thought, a Schumacher SST Sport, did a bit of research to find out that it was in fact a Schumacher SST '99 Pro!
Thankfully the replacement parts I needed & have bought were the same!

I gave everything a watch down with an old toothbrush to get rid of all the dirt & dust.

 This is the damaged differential and needed to be replaced.

 This is the good one, it just needed to be stripped down and cleaned up, old dried grease to be removed & then re-oiled and re-assembled.

I found the belts, main gear and new differential online & on eBay.

 All (mostly) cleaned up and re-assembled.

Here's the new differential fitting back into place.

Next:
  • Wheels & tyres
  • power & controller check
  • probably a lot of other things I'll find on the way lol.
