what part of the diff screw did you break? how did it break? Were you using the 25mm Pro4/cyclone diff screw or the 27mm WCE screw?

I think you guys should try the Titanium coated WC diff screw/t-nut. Its like $6 and it works really well for me. I only race 13.5 but my diffs last a long time and I have yet to rebuild any of my diffs, with 5 club races on them!
The Edit Ti diff screw is pretty easily accesible but very expensive! The TC5 screw is easy to get and very cheap, does it fit in the stock outdrives without drilling?

with the Reedy race in our back yard...you are about to see this car pushed to the limits. Scotty and I will be testing any and everything. If it's weak it will show. If it can't handles speed it will be thrown.....LOL You get my point. It's time to have some fun baby!!!!
But it was the WCE screw, I dont break them anymore, I have it sorted out, as said a properly built diff will be fine, when there built right, you dont have to tighten the diff much, and it doesnt slip, so its all good
I still cant build a diff perfect like the cyclone hot shot at my track, so he does it for me

wow! you broke the Ti screw in half? What are your tips on building the diff for no slip but still being silky smooth? How many turns out from fully compressed?

run your regular gearing first because my motor was still pulling Norcal and their straight was just like Speedworld but with a tru sweeper so it might fine where it is. Then again you might have to gear up

For you guys using AE screws and T nuts. You might want to check that the drive shaft doesn't bottom out on the T nut when the suspension is compressed. I had the problem with a used BMI car I bought. The seller complained that he could never get the car to handle well. No doubt....the right rear and left front of the car only had 1/2 travel before they started loading the drive shaft.
Does the TC5 t nut fit all the way into the drive cup...I've never tried it?
All this talk's got me worried about broken diff screws now!

I dont need to be harassed by you because my car is to slow down the back I will gear it up to atleast 4.6

I broke one in my first qual using my 13.5 It drove through practice just fine, so i was pretty upset. Even worse, at the HPI Challenge in Corona, it survived the 10.5 absolutely fine too!
oh wellll
