thanks

Quick Q for you e ball diff guys. How do i know when i need to rebuild? I have 3 race days and a long day of practice on my ball diff and maybe another day from older owner. But my diff still feels real smooth. How do it tell when to swap the balls and re oil etc etc?

Yeah sometimes works - Dont touch running system . If there are no problems with it I would leave it. If you are going to race something big I would reassemble it. Anyway I found out that is good to make changes in drivetrain before race in training to give it some time.

Just did a rebuild of my diff yesterday, used the tungsten diff balls and diff rings from Losi in the main gear and regular diff balls and rings in the thrust bearing from Losi.
Followed the guide stickyfied at the top of the forum here: http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...er-clutch.html also read the diff section from @Muggydude TLR 22 Guide.
The diff felt really smooth after breaking it in and doing a few laps, though did a total of 190 laps today(astro surface), and it now feels a bit gritty, not really bad, but not as smooth as it was in the start.
Normal for the diff to start feeling gritty after about 190 laps? Or should i take it apart and check it out?

Not sure how it really should feel but I can tell you that I have ceramic thrust/ diff balls and got hard times to break in. First it was smooth but couldnt get it tight and now its not so smooth but tight. Not sure if its possible to have it just as smooth as you have it just after assembly. Also checked other diffs and none is better. But probably you cant transfer 300W without having diff little gritty and also is it really good to have diff absolutely smooth? Would like to touch Dustins diff

Hmm i see, well calling my diff gritty might be a bit wrong, it still feel smooth, but the diff produce a different sound now compared to after breaking it in. After breaking it in, it was smooth and very quiet, now it's still smooth but a lot more noisy, might feel a bit like i have too little grease somewhere, but am pretty sure i used enough.

I feel that when your diff is tight enough to not slip, it will feel a tiny bit rough and doesn't seem to change for a long, long time.
One thing that was talked about by the TLR guys and then re stated to me at the track recently was the fact that worn outdrives and pins on the CVDs make a big difference in how smooth this car reacts.
My car's diff felt fine but those parts were worn, after replacing them the car was much, much smoother.
So if your car just doesn't feel as good as it once has, freshen these up too.
