so why dont you just run the 1.0 diff housing?

hey guys talking of gear mesh, have you ever encountered a front diff being notchy? im done building my new 8t 2.0 but the front is notchy, there is just a high spot, never heard the front doing this

:lol::lol:

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!

Please see attachment.

There was in fact a problem with the rear gearbox. I had shimmed correctly according to the Losi manual. But for some reason the Flanged Bearing(marked with blue dot) which resides on the Diff housing, would not fit properly :( I have no clue why this happened all of a sudden. It seems like the dimensions of the "tube(marked with blue dot)" on which the bearing sits has expanded or something. I had to use a hammer to knock it all the way in, close to the housing. Before it was sitting flush and made the R&P sit too tight with the standard shimming.

I removed a .25mm shim and hammered the bearing in place, the wierd sound has now gone. I have ordered a new diff housing as there must be something wrong with my current as the bearing won't fit anymore. So this will only be a temporary solution until the new one arrives.

Thanks again :)

I've had that before. Similar to the rear end, if it's just notchy and not locking up, it will wear in fine.;)

Hmmm, I've never seen that problem. Probably a good idea to replace the diff housing and the bearings.:nod:

thats what i want to know too ive had zero problems with my diffs with my 1.0 cases.

Anyone

Nope, especially if you do the spindle mod.;)

Well it was my 3rd anniversary last week. All my wife wanted was cash to shop so that made it easy for me. This is what she got me:D

It is not new but in mint shape, Came with some nice upgrades and spares as well. The motor and servos where mine though just got the roller. spent the last 9 hours taking it apart, cleaning,checking and good going over. The only thing I found was one shock shaft had a little bend. The lhs had already closed so I tweaked it good enough to use tomorrow.

Got to love hobby wifes;)

Looks good!:nod:

Shock protectors for losi
 

I thought I’d ask as either way I couldn’t see any problem in running stock losi shock rubber boots and shock socks at the same time.

Will this reduce the action of the 4 shockers ?

I've been running the 1.0 housings and diffs in my 2.0T since I've owned it, which has been since July I think. ZERO problems after five 3-day weekend races and a couple one day club races.

Divorce Her Right Now. She has Other Motives. I have seen it Before.

Can I have her Phone Number?:lol::lol::lol:

sounds, good i dont know why other people that have problems with the shimming dont run the 1.0 diff cases and diffs.

i guess they dont know that they can do that.

ive ran the socks on my 1/10 shocks and if anything they cause a bind your better off just running rubber boots.
