For those of you interested in getting replacement pins. It looks like I could make some up on my equipment by the middle of next week. These would be RC52 hardened and ground. They would cost $12 shipped for a set of 6.
It looks like Losi is going to get the pins out pretty quick, so this would be a short term solution for those of you with trucks that are down.
If you are interested let me know by PM. If there's enough interest I'll order the parts today.

Discussion about an obvious premature wear issue where the expectation was that the parts had much more life is not slander. The Losi guys were posting in this thread reassuring us that the kits had the new hardened pins. When they make claims like that about the kits, and then it turns out to be untrue, you have to understand there is going to be some shock and awe posts. My biggest problem is the sudden lack of communication from the Losi guys once this discussion started in the thread. They should be pouring forth the information, not avoiding us....

You're gonna love it ! Its so good I kinda feel like I'm cheating when I am racing against the other 4x4's .
I am coming from a highly modded Ofna Hyper 10SC and I was faster with this truck the very first time I ever drove it with the box stock setup .
Mark my words , once they get the diff issue worked out this will be THE truck too run this season .

I can understand your response. I was reassured of one thing. It is now obvious that something different has occurred. I was off yesterday so thats why I was not around. I am however around from morning until way into the night most often. I have been here since the beginning of this issue and have spoken up each time.

One week on a set of drive cups from Rages truck. The center diff also has quite a bit of play inside the actual diff, causing the drive shafts to wobble.
Ryan, I thought the drive cups on the production truck had been hardened? All three of the production trucks in our crew are all having this issue. And we have seen quite a few diffs pin issues right off the bat which also should have been hardened? To get the pins cost 30 bucks for each set. I do not think people are going to want to replace the pins every two weeks. What's the deal man?

Once the pins have lost their tolerances they cannot hold the output center with everything and the wobble is seen.

I just got off the phone with customer support and they were helpful. They are sending me 3 of the LOSB3569 diff kits, since all my spider gears are wearing on the back from the pin wear, but they are also sending me some sets of another kit (IDK the P/N) that has the diff pins, shims and the diff gasket. I only asked for the Diff kit, but he wanted to send the other as well. Didnt hurt my feelings so I didnt argue. His visibility on availability was Backorder till June, but I know thats probably because you have all the diff pin stock tied up on hold and in inspection atm.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I know we were all a little frantic this morning, but I can tell you guys are doing the best you can.

I just checked the center diffs on all of my 1/8 scales and they ALL have a similar amount of play ? I dont think it will be an issue as the center CVD's are not pivoting around like the ones on the front and rear diffs while they are turning , the front and rear diffs do not have this play .
