my front flarings vibrate too much

[jhai_o]

can anyone help me with these? how can i minimize the vibration of the plastics,, or its better if i can fix it and get rid of the odd vibrating noise, thank you..

 

[traxxas-modifier]

tighten your fairing screws

 

[lc-motospeed]

yupp... most probably ur screw aren't tight enough

 

[jhai_o]

well its all tight,, what can you say about putting some thin foam to lessen the vibration,,

 

[goff_d_p]

try using an old rubber inner tube, like from a bicycle. it's thin enough to be placed between the two body parts. also, try to make sure you don't pop the screw when tighting it too much. it will weaken the clip the the screw is being secured to. i have this problem, i need to replace all the clips with a better designed clip.

try putting double side tape the one that is thick b/n the fairings much easier.

 

[rich_havens]

same with me... been experiencing this too... my front cowling produce a sound due to vibration

 

[rich_havens]

i used foam... at first it will lessen the sound but in the long run the problem re occurs

 

[tedaks116]

run a belt made of polyester across the leg shield, will solve your old age problem on vibration , done all previous tips but this one is lasting...

 

[raksta]

Do you often drive on rough road highways? If you do, better buy a new fairings...

wheel interrior rubber is cheaper

 

[Storm_rider]

i also experienced that sir,.. try putting some interior rubber,... i will help a lot in reduce the vibration,..

 

[YAMAHA_FIAT99]

yup put a piece of interrior rubber beneath the fairings where you tighten up your screw. they will act like an absorber to absorb the vibration.

Het Goff, you mentioned designed clips. Can you recommend any? Just had the fairings wrapped and some of the clips are not attaching well anymore resulting in the rattling.
