Re: diff parts

where can i get the front inside parts for my diff in my mtx3 the kit comes with the housing, are the front and rear diffs the same inside? and what oil should be used for a parking lot track with some tight turns and a low bite surface?

and do i need anything else to run a diff up front in this car?


gentleman81,
I picked up diff parts from Ashford hobbys. Robert got me all the parts I needed. I notieced on ebay you an buy a rear diff and use the parts from it.

As for diff oil, on a small track 10000, but try 50000 or 100000 and see if you like drving with that. Will give you lots of braking power...

I would try a stiffer oil; try 800 wt. stiffer springs, I used 1/8th. pink rears on the front of my mtx3 at the biggie with softer rears like stock. Try more camber, 4deg. in the rear, 3deg. in the front, you can also try slowing your servo speed down so the car wont be so twitchy with your radio input.Also try a stiffer sway bar.
The track here Is wuite bumpy... The further I can go on the thick side is 600wt I'll maybe use some white all around... or maybe the pink...
I don't think the probelm is on the servo speed as when I have the rolling probelm is a section where I am veeery smooth... Sway bar stiffness is on the max...

I broke a front shock shaft after traction rolling in a state final once, the traction rolling problem went away immediately. Lap times went down but.
Last race I broke the rear axle bearing!!! apart from lots of wings...

so besides the front uprights are these parts that should be carried as spares?

Hey Bivens, you guys coming down this weekend to run the new layout at the Sugarbowl? The new layout is killer, and it's the 1st race of a summer series AROCC is putting on now that we're renting the track.

Hope to see ya there!!:D

The tank lid is different and is available as a spare part. The tank itself is the same.
