My front diff case broke at one of the tower connections. Was in the process of replacing it tonight. Hit a snag. I can’t for the life of me get my outdrive couple off. The set screw has been removed, but that sucker won’t budge. Anyone else dealt with this on this car or any other RC. I’ve got it soaking in some PB blaster overnight, but don’t expect much. Could lock tight have gotten down in there or something? I hate to have to order a bunch of little parts just due to this.

Tried both. No dice. Just checked the rear out of curiosity. Same thing. Good news, these shouldn’t ever break lose. Bad news, now I need to order a bunch of little pieces and wait a week for them to arrive.
My outdrives kept getting lose with the blue locktite, so I stepped up to the red. May have been a bad choice.
Edit: solder tool turned up to 900, a vice, and small amount of blood. It’s now apart.

Nice! Try the EVO springs on it. Huge improvement.

Seems like the norm is to go a little heavier though. You also need the 2.0 spring cups.

Nice looking setup. I’m really liking my 4.0. Hope you enjoy that one.

Last night was the most fun race of the season so far. Got to go head-to-head with a TLR driver running an Xe.
