I did try green slime on the orings but it has not helped.

anyone try just running grease should I change diff bearings
because outdrives wobble like crazy....

That won't work. Your diff halfs have a brass bushing inside of them, and are worn out and need to be changed. The same reason your outdrives wobble is why they leak.



About $9.

basically on anything where you need a seal. so if the leak is around the orings, try it there.

Interesting. that the part is worn. Yeah grease won't work well then.

BTW, I agree with your post that the paper gasket needs some grease - but just for a release agent so you can get the gasket out in one piece if you want to change the fluid.

Unfortunatly we are still waiting for a rock solid diff that doesn't wear out quickly
Id give my left nut for a diff with hardened steel bushing in it instead of brass

Do you have anything to go off of based on another vehicle and how its geared?

if you do, you could use this caculator here:

http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_top_speed.html

punch in the numbers for that vehicle, and then use your numbers to get the same overall "top speed" so you have a starting point.

question and yes I did a search... Will a castle external BEC pro fit in the truck? I'll be using a MMP, tekin pro4 4000kv and a hitec 7955 servo. My LHS has the pro in stock but not the smaller one. Just need to know if I need to order the other one.

Thanks in advance!

Any one have problem with acetone dulling the finish on the stock wheels? I my stockers are getting a bit worn down, and I have a brand new set of them that came with my SC10 kit. I like to just soak them over night in a bucket full of acetone and the tries pull right off nice and clean the next day.

I think acetone can also eat away at the foam, so I wouldn't do that to any tire/insert I wanted to keep.

Yea, I never liked the Idea of the slipper either. Why waste precious mAh's on pad heat when you can have a center diff putting the power where it needs to go?

To me a slipper's job is just to protect the drivetrain from over-stress.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll need to compensate the up travel with limiters now that I have no boots.
I'm assuming the limiters clip to the shock shaft under the rubber ring??

Also, since upgrading my ESC motor to the RX8 Pro 4 4000kV, I've killed 2 batteries, melted the bullet socket on the positive termianls.
My C ratings are obviously not accurate? Gens Ace 5000mAh 40C & Turnigy Nanotechs.....
Any suggestions of batteries?

Everyone's help is much appreciated.
Yea that 40C rating on the Gens Ace is BS in my opinion. I haven't had a bullet melt, but after 2-3 mins the Gens Ace pack will start to cog on startup. Where my Protec's keep on truckin.
