Its a finicky setup. You Just have to work with it until it seats correctly. Keeping both inserts lined up and inserting them at the same time is a PITA.

While I'm asking questions, is 5/5/3 what everyone is getting the best results on a high bite clay track with? This is totally different than setting up my truggy.
Make sure the steel insert is bottomed out in the case. You might have some dirt under it.

I run 7,7,3 on high bite and 5,5,3 on low bite.

Thanks for the info, I have spent about 4 hours on it and 1.5 hours at the LHS - multiple people there tried with no success.

-No more cracking on the fenders...
-Body won't open up like "pac-man" at high speed...
-Truck won't sound like a trash bag of spare lexan hitting the ground after jumps!
-Can push down on the roof with no body flex.. feels like it has a roll cage!

Anyways thought i'd share the idea... i thought it would look kind of "hack" but acctually does'nt look to bad either
Thats a great idea. Now that you mention it, my old touring cars had an extra body mount about there but only in the center. How bout a pic with the body on please.

The inserts look warped IMO, especially the one on the right side.

Thanks, I wouldn't say it's notchy anymore, but you feel an egde of the gears grabbing at about 10% of the rotation.

I am going to try 5/7/3. I run 7/10/5 in my 8T, so although a little thinner for the SCTE, it follows the same formula. At the track with the factory grease in it, it would understeer on power and extremely oversteer off power. I am trying to tune the bugs out of it's handling from the drivetrain out.

Thanks for all of the advice.

Is your ring gear reversed (upside down)? I think it is...

It was in there at some point so I can't see how or why it wouldn't go back in now.

What part of the housing is not closing...the bottom?

Yes it's in the rear - here's more pictures. I would be happy to ship to somebody to look at it to see if we are all crazy. I bought a whole diff, assembly unit off of ebay today...

Yea, i use to have one on my MTX3 back in my on-road days.. I figured one would be to much pressure on that one spot so i went with two plus no drilling and they line up right in front of the windsheild perfectly... the mounts i found were perfect after shimming them one washer up....The tabs you see stuck on the inside of the body is some lexan with adhesive on the back, not sure where i got it ((Good ol junk box!)) but i cut two curcles and stuck them on there to save the paint and add strength.. heres the pix you wanted

The problem is that I can get one side of the diff to fit in the notch (part # BB3104), but the other side is a little too long for the other notch. The diff gear doesn't touch the gear that is inside the housing. Very odd.

I would like to see it actually...something can't be right.

Will the diff fit and housing close without the plastic cups installed?

You are lining up the little notches/tabs correctly...right? They both have to be exactly positioned for it to close
