Well, it finally happened - the front diff blew.. Opened it up, and silver particles everywhere. Probably both the main gear and the pinion too.
Which begs the question.... What can I use for a replacement? The pinion is spiral cut.. I have a bunch of Associated and Thunder Tiger and even LST2 diffs. Not sure if any of them are similar or not. I am assuming not - but will check tomorrow.. Anybody know what diffs would work as direct replacements? Thanks..
