anybody else have this happen to their diff outdrive?
This is only after 5 weekends of racing on this car. The other outdrive looks perfectly fine, but this one looks like its gone through several seasons of racing. The wear actually caused the cvd to pop out in the middle of my main today.
Anyway, I think I might go with a gear diff instead of just replacing the outdrives. Who runs and likes the gear diff?

I ripped a ball stud out of the transmission case tonight. this was my fix 
Does anyone run this http://www.tresrey-usa.com/tresrey-a...est210desc210/ If so how do you like it and is it worth it. It got me threw the night and I even took 2nd in the main but it pushed like a school bus. 
Thanks

Too much droop would do this on my 410. At full extension the cvd would bind and either wreck the outdrive or break the drive shaft. Always on one side.

I use the part you are referring to, though I have never had a problem with the stock ball stud mount. Its definitely a permanent fix to your issue..

+8 mm Carbon chassis...worthy upgrade,more flex,more traction outdoors,all I run.Plus,its nearly on the 1500 weight limit with this.
Was ripping ballstuds out of the gearbox every heat...crap engineering and plastics,went for the Tresrey CF brace or the Rango was getting binned.
Electrics layout,REC sits vertically behind shorty,super neat,no wiring outside battery tray
Avid springs and Tresrey red spacers everywhere,new Hitec servo
Brass Ballstud mount 8ight racing CF V2 towers
TSR racing wheel nuts and clear shock seal sets with red bleeder screws....
The TSR seals are magic....just run a 4hr enduro on the weekend,probably run for 1 and half hrs,no leakage anywhere.they have already done 4 club days.
Ghea Tapered pistons inside shocks
The AE 12mm big bores spring retainers are the same...few colour and material options then.
Love the DEX210,but its definetly overrated in a few area's,strength being 1 of them.
I ripped probably 6-8 ballstuds out of the gearbox in 2 weekends.
The sidepod plastics are shit.Strip so easily,just from use.
The gearbox removal is a nightmare.
The arms and hub inserts slop out super quick compared to 2 yrs running a B4.1.
Can't handle the torque hit down low from Mod motors as well as a B4.1,it will twist the chassis up,the B4.1 just drives through the torque hit.
Shocks are awesome
Slipper is great
Balldiff is in another world,love it.
Steering is amazing,so much,and so sharp and slop free.
Now I have a setup on it,it flys,and will kick my B4.1s ass easily....
Incredible car in the air,can whip it hard,the torque hit that upsets the chassis on the ground can save some huge angles in the air,and level itself for the down ramp....
Now it is strong enough to deal with my 7.5 and my hack driving,it's unreal!! Faster,easier to drive,but far from stock,and super exxy!!
I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!

Update. I upgraded to Lunsford turnbuckles, with rpm long ball cups and AE ball studs from the tc6. Have not popped one ball cup, or had to make a camber adjustment since. Recommended upgrade over stock.

Ok, so next question for you gear diff guys. Do you have the same problem with your outrdives wearing out?
It seems the TD gear diff will be out of stock for a bit. Should I wait for that, or go with the AE gear diff? Is there a difference in quality between the two?

I have ran a durango geardiff the whole season on outdoor dirt. the outdrives still look brand new.
the AE gear diff need more shimming

or if they really checked it out before they put it in.
That is why I build a hybrid ball diff using the the Durango main gear and balls and every thing else is AE.

Thanks for the honesty. Most people think thier stuff is great because it's what they have. My local shop owner has 1 & he's the only 1 running them. I've been racing off & on for 30 yrs & as soon as i saw rear ballstud placement, all thoughts of getting 1 went in the trash. Now i see there's an allturnitive, it will be my next car. Thanks again!
