Hello

I have two differentials, the two are mounted in the same way I will describe:

Both with ceramic balls 3mm 12 pieces, plates polished with sandpaper with WD40 oil in 1200 and finished with 2000
with seven ceramic balls of 1.6 mm mounted.
with 4 cone washers and are mounted this way )()(

the diff pulley mounted to the deepest part to the side of the screw.
With Associated stealth diff lube.

my problem is when I run the first qualification they work well, then starts making a strange noise when apply full throttle, it seems they are loosened, when tightening the noise is worse.


Maybe some part are mounted bad.
perhaps with new ligth plates can solve the problem.

Help please.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards:
Pedro Silva

Hi there.
Thats the kit I'm driving now and it's great.
Things changed from the "normal" kit: (What I remember)
New chassis and topplate - Especially for LiPo
New shocks - More smooth and doesnt leak oil - Very nice.
New drive shafts in better material and with lasertext on to identify length
New screws for topplate and camberplates - Harder. You need a 2mm wrench
New improved centershaft for the pulleys
New rear arms with more holes for dampers
Possibility to turn the diff and spool so You can move the electronics right

Maybe even more, but thats what I remember without having the car in front of me. :0)
The car is great and so easy to drive

I read in another thread that a gear diff is due out within a week or so, not sure that was going to be a TOP or other brand though.
