Hi
Ive got the bd5 and am using the standard Yokomo gear diff in the rear, with the standard cvd's, blades, and outdrives.
The problem i am facing at the moment is with the blades. The blades are not lasting at all. They wear out with a couple of runs, explode outwards, and then consequently the outdrives get chewed out.
Ive been shaving down/ modifying the back of the blade as it tells you to do on the small pamphlet that comes with the gear diff due to clearance issues with the the gear diff outdrives.
What would be be a good susbstitute to get around this issue?
I have been told to use team bomber blades, but im not sure if these will fit in the gear diff outdrives. Ive also been told to use shorter Tamiya 416 cvd's with standard yokomo blades to give more clearance to avoid modifying and therefore weakening the blades.
Thanks guys

Hi,
Im running in mod with a 4.5t speed passion.
I was told to do wohat you have advised also, but to put heat shrink around the blades. Doesnt feel too professional though
Ive gone and ordered a SPEC-R diff to see how things go, and will try some other mods too....
Cheers

Edit: I am running 44mm tamiya aluminum dog bones in the rear though, doesn't seem that 0.5mm could do much in prolonging blade life.

The Spec R diff is not as good as the Yokomo one (feel wise).
