Tatula CT/SV bearing retainer

[LgMouthGambler]

I cant remember if there was a topic on this, and if there was I cant find it. Has anyone tried replacing that stupid star retainer on the crank plate spool bearing with a normal one?

Oh wow, I forgot it had those. I hope they never do that again. They're already going against my wishes and expanding their OEM line...

I managed to melt a ridge into my CT when I owned it and put a OEM wire retainer.

Bit fiddley but worked well.

I saw somewhere a guy opened up a new Tatula and it had a wire retainer in it , can't remember where I saw it..

Could that retainer be a cause of loud screeching sound on a cast???
My Tat SV screams. I have taken it apart cleaned oiled the bearings but still get noise.
Next might swap bearings with known silent ones

If you have it smooshed against the bearing, there is a possibility. Try taking it out and flattening it, and try it out again. More than likely a bad bearing though. That's my thought.

Try greasing the spool shaft ends before you do anything else.

Thanks will try grease first

Worst design going. Not sure why they used these to hold the bearing in place

That was a standard for Daiwa back in the late 90's. IIRC, the TD Advantage had that bearing retainer. I'm also puzzled why they would bring them back. Pretty sure it isn't a cost savings for them, so yeah.....

I ordered like 10 of those things last time I ordered parts from daiwa. I'm sure if you could find the right size c-clip it would work.
Hobby shops that deal in RC cars would be a good place to start looking.

Here's a screen shot of the vid I saw on instagram. Supposedly the dude at high speed bearings popped open a new Tatula HD and it had this retainer on the gear side spool bearing.

The OG Tats are like that with regular retainers. Ugh, Spool Speed junk bearings. Lol.
