Default diff trouble

I finally ran into diff trouble this weekend.....nothin but grief at our final series race! Broken screws, mysterious tension loss, all the stuff everyone has been complaining about here for months. Guess it finally caught up to me. Has anyone been running the new diff yet? Is it good? Does anyone have them in stock?

Trust me Pcar951, the new pro-spec diff is awesome! super silky smooth action with long lasting.

Yes, front and rear for carpet. Tried ceramic and carbide balls in the thrust and diff, sanded washers, the whole enchalada! I even tried to go back to the delrin outdrives....no luck.

you might have a warp in your outdrive thats putting undue stress on the screw itself! try replacing the outdrives and the screw, then coat the screw in some black grease. Are you using the pro 4 25mm screw or the Ti-coated 27mm?

It seems if i keep the car rolling its fine but out of slow hairpins or corners where u have to brake, when getting back on the power the rear end steps out like a 2WD. Seems to be due to the torque of the brushless motor.
I have de tweaked the car, all settings are fine as car is superb through faster corners carrying massive corner speed.
Only thing i can think of is the diff feels a bit rough but adjusted correctly?
Help

Try LRP Carpet2 additive too, but stagger your rear/front application ;)

I'm using the 25mm screw, never had a problem before with it. I tried numerous different outdrive sets as well during qualies.
It's all water under the bridge now anyhow. For the main I threw in a rear diff that I had in another car....problem solved. The issue is, it cost me a spot in the A main in a fairly big regional race. I'll never trust these diffs again so bring on the new stuff!

BTW: with the rear diff working, the Cyclone had over a lap on the second place car in the B.

I dodged the bullet for so long with the original screw and nut setup I never really considered anything else. Must be "carma" or something! I'll be stepping up for the pro diffs for sure now.

Yep, Elliot is an Xray driver now.
The 008 is certainly a nice car, both in quality, how it appears on the track and a few cool innovations in design, in the UK there's a pretty big Xray team, so should you ever need assiatance, it's easy to get too.
