losi speed t diff problem newbi, i know nothing.
hello everybody,i am new to the rc world, i got a speed t with 3s lipo as my first car, had 6 full batery runs at medium esc setting and 15 tooth pinion gear and grass tyres, the diff was fine untill i changed the wheels back to the stock road tyres that came with it. when i tightened the wheel nuts i held the opposite wheel and then tightened the wheel nut, after reading the manual i think that i may have tightened or lossened the diff, now when the car is on a stand and i turn one wheel the other turnes in the same direction ( diff appears to be locked ) , when i use a lot of throtle the car dose doughnuts and makes a scarping/barking noise, has my inexperiance caused a simple fixable problem or has the diff eaten its self. please help. thancks very much, joney, england.....

ok ive never messed with a losi but it seems like ur diff is too tight...for the associated diff u tighten the diff till the spring compresses then turn it an 1/8th of a turn...if that doesnt work loosen it little by little... then u will have to rebuild ur diff if those adjustments dont work...try those out and let us know

The speed-T has a locked diff. I am 99.9% sure. It is designed that way so it is easier to drive at high speed.

hello again, the diff is fine, you are right the diff should be locked and the bent dogbone is within tolerance, i am never to old to learn new things, see you all next time when my lack of knowlage lets me down. thanks again to everybody. joney...
