Man I justy opened up the rear diff in my mud bog truggy and theres no rust at all. A little on the center driveshaft but none on the r/p. Are you guys using any grease or just running them dry? The gearbox was clean and dry inside. IDK what you guys are doing to let dirt into the gearbox. Do you put a little layer of grease around the edges of the gearbox to keep the dust out??
yup i grease the box everytime i take it apart, mine wasnt bad but there was rust on the r+p
NO clue how that much water got in there....but i had little droplets of mud water inside the case....my R+P was rusted pretty good..the grease was a real funny color.....you must have gotten lucky with the timing of your race...remember i was the first race up when it started to Rain Rain....not that trickle race 1-3 got....and you later guys got the wet sticky mud....so i can see how you would have less water and more mud.....i would assume the compressor spitting 1/2 air 1/2 rusty water probably didn't help either....i was the only one who seemed to be concerned about it and emptied that big pig of a compressor like a dozen time's over the week.

Here is what I did...
Shoe Goo a piece of 1/4 plexi and used velcro to hold the battery to it. You have turn the black piece in the middle 180 degrees, that will give you a ledge to mount the plexi to.

Yeah, you should be able to get it at either store. Look in there "tool/hardware" isle. I do believe I bought mine at Menards. I have been using it in r/c for years. I used to use it in 12th scale to glue the steering servo down, the stuff really works.

+1 some nice high strength velcro goes a long way!
On an earlier topic about the grease, I use the mobil 1 synthetic as well. It's great grease, and you can pick up a huge tub for about $6 from an auto parts store.

So do people think that the new rebate on the 8ight-T really means a 3.0 is going to be released soon? Some folks were speculating that.
If that is the case, that means the are updating every one of there race rollers, since even their rock crawling race roller has a rebate.
I was planning on buying an 8ight-T using this program, but if people think a replacement is coming out soon I might re-think that.
I really don't think there is any connection, but what do you guys think?

I just don't want to buy the Truggy next and then find out both are being replaced a month later. This will probably happen with my luck.
