Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator Upgrades—— Rear Wheel Hubs Upgraded

Welcome to the Rlaarlo Engineering Workshop!

Upgrading your RC car can be daunting, but don't fret! With some know-how, anyone can unleash its full potential.

Let Rlaarlo open the doors to the world of remote-controlled car modifications for you!

 

Today, I'm excited to show you how to install the upgraded metal parts for the rear wheel hubs of the Omni Terminator.

 

Follow these steps carefully to achieve a successful installation.

Tools and Materials Needed:

  • 0mm and 2.5mm hex drivers
  • 0mm socket driver
  • Hex wrench

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparation:

  • Ensure you have the necessary rear wheel hub upgrade parts ready.
  • Gather a 2.0mm and 2.5mm hex driver, a 7.0mm socket driver, and a hex wrench.

Disassembly:

  • Use the socket driver to unscrew the wheel nuts and remove the wheels from your RC car.
  • Remove the wheel hexes and take out the pins that hold them in place.
  • Carefully remove the shims on the wheel drive cup to prevent any damage.

Removing the Wheel Hub:

  • Unscrew the screws fixing the upper suspension arm to the wheel hub using the 2.5mm hex driver and hex wrench.
  • Use the 2.0mm hex driver to unscrew the two screws on the lower suspension arm that hold the pins.
  • Push out these pins with a screwdriver and carefully remove the rear wheel hub.

Preparing for Upgrade:

  • Remove the outdrive cup from the wheel hub.
  • Use an appropriate tool to extract the bearings from inside the wheel hub.
  • This prepares the hub for the installation of the new metal wheel hub upgrade parts.

Installing the Upgrade:

  • Slide the output cup into the new metal wheel hub.
  • Insert the bearings back into their respective places within the wheel hub.
  • Ensure the pins are inserted back into the control arm through the wheel hub, noting that there should be a spacer on each side of the metal wheel hub.

Reassembly:

  • Once everything is aligned and the pins are in place, install the screws to fix the pin securely.
  • Reinstall the dog bone into the drive cup on the wheel hub, then the other end back into the drive cup.
  • Reinstall the screws fixing the upper suspension arm to the wheel hub.

Final Adjustments:

  • Reinsert the shim, the pin, and then refit the wheel hex and the wheel.
  • Use the socket hex to tighten the wheel nuts, ensuring everything is secure.
