This is a whole new mold and case. Getting these tolerances right was crucial to the overall handling of the truck. Sorry for the delay, I have been working on these for months now.

I have over 100 runs on the 3 in my truck now and zero leakage. They are butter smooth and have been from day one. I have many others running them with all smiles so far.

They should be through QC in the CA warehouse and be shipping by Tuesday.
Sounds great. Can't wait to buy a few of these.

I wont miss the tiny shims.

Will this new diff get rid of most the slop in the outdrives?

The TLR tuned chassis with rear torque rod will produce a little stiffer chassis front to rear but allow for a little more twist. Just different handleing characteristics. Typcially a little better on higher bite tracks. For bumpy outdoor the stock rear brace may be better with more front to back chassis flex being better on lower bite and bumpy tracks. We run the torque rod almost everywhere in So Cal though.

Yes, these do get rid of a great deal of slop in the outdrives. Although I have never found this to inhibit the performance of the car at all.

So just so we all know when we get them, using black grease on the outdrives is still recommended right?

Stock gears will fit right into this cases, with the exception of the tiny shims between the gears and the square block?

Thanks!

Build them the same you would any 8th scale diff or follow Drakes video. I would still use the large washer behind the sun gears though. So yes use black grease on the outdrives. No small washer behind each planetary gear.

We no longer need to seal the inserts like we have been advising for a few months as these inserts are now molded into the case instead of pressed in like before. The new gasket is improved for better seal there and the screw holes were improved for better screw bite and more holding strength to get a good gasket compression. There were a lot of little things improved to make these much better.
