Your kit should have come with a 23, 24 and a 25(unless you got it used). If not you should contact where you bought it from/tlr to get it resolved. Like I said, you can use it but you run the risk of it jumping teeth in a crash.

Hi,

many thanks. I would like to know if the current set-ups should works well on the European Track, for example dirt and rough tracks.

thanks

Bump, can i get my question answered before weird questions that answer them selves?

If it's not gritty and built correctly it should last a while, if it's still smooth then leave it alone. Maybe do it before a bigger race or every couple months.

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.

Thanks guys, im normally nitro and dint know if i was suppost to just do it after a few runs. I just club race my 2wd so im not real worried about it, just was wondering if i had to treat it before it could harm somthing but i guess if i dont feel grit its fine? I race is about once a week or less so i should be fine for a few more weeks i guessing?

Yeah, if you are only running once a week or so then you are fine for awhile.

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.
