I am getting ready to pull the trigger on some gear diffs for my ZX5 transformation to a ZX6 and there was a link to a video on here that seems to not be working any more. Is there any tips I should know about building the diffs or does someone have a link to the video. Also what are some diff oil recommendations to start with. I run on a med/high traction track.

Mine is coming in the mail tomorrow....I should have never sold my 1st one. Can't wait! I am going right to the gear diffs with 5/5. Does anyone make Carbon shock towers for the car?

Anybody else have trouble with the cvd pin at the axles backing out? I've been putting loctite on the grub screws but the pin works passed the screw.
Its getting more frequent. When the pin backs out, the grub screw is still tight. Seems about every 4 runs I have one back out. I'm keeping the cvd's greased. I check before each run but it still happens. I thought about putting a flat spot on the pin at the grub screw but am afraid of weakening it. May be the solution though.
When the pin backs out, ugly things happen. I have destroyed caster blocks, a swing shaft and a couple of king pin screws.

Another alternative, if I understand your problem correctly, is to apply some heat shrink to that area for added protection. I don't know if it will always stay on but it might help.
The other thing too, that I can think of, is maybe you have a wheel that is really out of balance. This condition can cause excessive vibration through the drive line and that set screw just can't take it anymore.
Report back what you find in case someone else has this problem too.

I bulletproof all my Kyosho CVDs (RB6 and ZX5) by grinding a flat on the pin where the grub screw goes, and I also clean them carefully with brake cleaner before reassembly to really make sure the Loctite does its job (you should clean the grub screw as well).
Also I don't grease the CVD during assembly, it just contaminates the Loctite and you can do this 24 hours later after it sets using spray grease or something similar. Plus I change the heatshrink every week. Hope this helps
