Whats up guys. Will be running this car on carpet. Just assembled a gear diff and it seems to be sweating a bit. Ive read thebdiff has a few leak issues. Hows the ball diff holding up on carpet I know the K Ball diffs are pretty awesome and never had a problen on dirt. I do have ceramic and carbide balls to play with.

Yup. All I did was assemble it and it isnt sealing. Noticed it starting to sweat around where the two halves meet. Hopefully kyosho fixes this issue in the near future.

Ok... So just looking for a general answer/opinion. If I'm looking for more foward bite coming out of turns what would I be looking at to change first and so on. Running in rear motor 17.5.

To prevent leaking I used these gaskets http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/Diff-Ca...-S_p_4659.html and I put green slim on them to help seal the diff. Also put some green slim in the screw holes, and be sure not to over tighten the diff screws, I tightened them a little at a time in a cross pattern. If you over tighten the screws it will distort the plastic and diff will leak.
Also don't forget these o rings, http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/Silicon...15_p_4307.html for the outdrives.
The last thing is do not use too much diff fluid. I fill mine just below the cross shafts, basically put a few drops in each corner, work it in, and the level should be just at or below the cross shafts.
Hope this helps.

I've been running a gear diff (7k oil) at OCRC with great success.

+1 what Jason said
the biggest think is not to over fill the diff, I filled just over half way, use the cross pin as a guide. Been running 5k on carpet for 3 months no leaks but I have stripped a plastic idler gear.

I used gasket sealant either side of the paper gasket and no leaking what so ever

Tried this. I think overfilling is definitely the issue. Seems leak free as of now time will tell. I guess the proper oil level would be just above the bevel gear under the cross pins. On my TRF diffs which are pretty much bomb proof and leak proof, the trick was sanding each half of the diff case. I did that so that it is a more rough surface where thet meet instead of a "finished" slippery surface which I believe may help contain more oil.
