Having a small problem. My quick motor mount will move away from my center diff? Any ideas on how to fix this? It is a stock motor mount.

Kind of funny though that on this tread the only lipos that were mention that had issues with the Bird cage connecters were in the Nanotechs .
the nanotechs are fine just the birdcages are the some of the cheapest made ive seen i switched my escs and charger to castle high current 4mm bullets they work great and i did smash one pretty bad bent it right back so after time when they loosen it wont be a problem to open them a tiny bit to make them fit snug again

Add a cap head screw and washer like this. Apply threadlock and you're good to go. Mine did the same thing before.

Hmm, have reglued used Mugens o-rings, and Chris's and GMK hardeneded shims. The shims do absolutely nothing, not worth it. Use black lithium grease, but no cigar.
And diffs should last more than a few weekends of racing!

Use the Mugen shims. They have been running great for about a year and show no wear. It's the larger ones in the picture. They are the same ID of the Losi shims. Much harder steel than anything I've used (have tried all the different ones, GMK, Chris's, etc). The Mugen ones are the only ones that have worked.

so be a guinea pig and buy the hot racing alum diff seen here and see how that works...I kno some dont like it due to added weight but hasnt been compared to the stock diff but either way...IF your having leaking issues this might be something to check into BUT if its leaking at the outdrive area i think you need to look deeper into your grease, o-rings, and so on....

I'm surprised tlr hasn't fixed this problem yet. The truck should just "work" from the factory, not forcing us to make diy fixes.

hey...anyone familiar with small weights, does this look like it could be correct for the weight the HR alum diff housing

0.8200 ounces
(23.2 grams)
(0.051 pounds)

Has anyone ran the Integy carbon fiber shock towers? They have them on their website on sale like $14 for front and rear. They have an extra set of holes to mount shocks lower. Not sure if this will help really. But for $14 I ordered me a set for a spare.

Sorry I wont put aluminium diff cases on my truck, because of weight and wearing issues. Everyone with SCTEs has leaking diffs at our club.
