Losi 8ight building and setup
#7171
I blew my rear diff in my LST2 "same diff" in less than 1 tank doing donuts on the grass. The rear diff unloaded, blew the seal, leaked all the diff fluid out, and blew the diff. That was the old style diff though

I didnt use any shims, used only what came with the "HD" diff bag.
Swapped out interior parts from each diff into the fresh "HD" diff case with the bevels in as stated in the instruction sheet, filled with fresh diff oil, and sealed them up like I allways have done. Shouldn't have to re-do diffs every 30 minutes of run time... Thats all I had on them when it blew.
If that would be the case, all the pro guys would have to stop halfway through the main and do a diff swap?
Just being a smarta$$ now.... My roomate told me the losi diffs leak if you don't hammer them down tight! Now that I know this, I will try to get them as tight as hell!
Thanks for all the help guys... After all this work I should have my 8ight ROLLIN for the next state RC Pro race!

hmm thats interesting havent seen that happen before i'd just replace it and it probly wont happen again i assume after it happened onece you tried to fix it and it came out again so the end that hold the thread might have pulled out
