I just got the hard diff cases this week and spent 2 nights trying to build a decent diff. The steel gears just wouldnt work no matter what I tried.

I eventually built the diff with all of the original internals and shimming to get it to be smooth.

I have yet to run the diff yet so I dont know if it will hold up but I have to say after running Kyosho for the last 10 years I am so over the rubbish they have bought out with this car.

If I have diff issues again this weekend I will be selling the lot and moving to a more reliable brand.
