I've got maybe 35 runs on my ball diffs with no slipping and no broken diff screws. Following the instructions and taking your time is so key.
That is what I would like to know too why am I having such a hard time with Cyclone diff. Perhaps I have been running Xray for so long and was expecting the same quality and design.
If this was my first diff I would agree with you about rushing to put it together. But my first hand on building the diff was with Serpent 6000 back in 80’s, so I guess I can say I have been building a few more diff since then.
Cyclone diff couldn’t need more time to put it together then Xray, Kyosho, Tamiya and the rest of the kits available today. 35 runs on a single rebuilt sound impressive but if you try to run Xray diff you would say WOW 150 runs so and it still smooth like a butter.
I’ll figure it out one way or the other.
