Center diff help
I upgraded my 2.0. Did this for about half the cost of a new buggy. Anyways, I used the 2.0 motor mount, I noticed that I have a lot of play in the center diff. More than 3mm of play. I noticed that its using some parts from the 2.0 in the center diff. I noticed that the motor mount did not line up with the holes. So I drilled into the chassis and countersunk the hole. After doing all that to the center diff, only issue I have is the play in the center diff. Is the motor mount that much thicker? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks again.

Gear Noise
I'm getting back into r/c after about 10 years and new to off-road. I am assembling my new 8ight E 3.0 and noticed the front diff makes a noise. It seems to be free, but makes a noticable noise when I spin the outdrives in one direction (not cross-directional). Is some noise normal with planetary gear diff? I am used to ball diffs on pan cars. I have not assembled the center or rear diff yet, so I do not know if they will turn out the same. I have followed the directions precisely (even though they are somewhat vague). Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
