I don`t think any of us ever get to run our trucks as much as we would like to...The point I`m trying to make is,this is a hobby,it`s meant to take up your free time and tinker with it.What good does it do for anyone to point you in the right direction if you don`t have time to do your own setup and experiment?The looks I get at the local track when I tell people what I run in all 3 diffs is priceless!Yes,it`s that good!I don`t run much electric stuff,more of a nitro guy.And my favorite class used to be 1/8th truggy,until "I" found a setup that "I" liked and "I" was happy with.

I have read alot of these pages without commenting,and just couldnt take anymore talk of the "Diffs" and the "leaks".Thats why I spoke up about the grease,then even had a few guys behind me to comment and agree on the grease diffs.I`m starting to think I should have just been quiet,seems like I gave away a pretty good little secret.

i guess if its whining so be it...When i do get time to run it, i would like to run it, not be tearing it down, then the next time, im rebuilding, then find out i didnt do it right and then redoing it becuz i dont get that much time and if i can research and read up im good. Just dont want to find out i didnt add the oil right to the grease if im understanding it right that your still adding the diff oil to the grease, correct?

I kno im making it out to be a big deal...blah blah blah, lol!

tc5 man

Hum i guess its just in my head than . Its not the steering saver just my setup than yea if its to much il dial it down on my radio.

Chucko: Ok thanks whats with the drops of diff oil though in the grease ? Pics of the packing the diff up would be cool if possible.

I noticed somebody posted about the shock bodies wearing out after 2-3 months of running. Is this an issue that i should be paying attention to, as i have ran the stock blue bodies all season. It seems there is quite a bit of friction/stiction on the shocks with no oil in them, also it appears that the coating on the inside of the shock body itself has worn away a bit. When i went from feeling my stock shocks, to my friend's scte with 8ight shocks i was amazed at how smooth the 8ight shocks were, and how sticky mine were.

Oh, and add 8th scale shocks to the scte 2.0 list!!!

I would do a video if I were a real time champion. with a name behind the wins. but its not rocket science or hard. you pack the case with grease put the gears in. put a few drops of oil in..oh wait. Y you ask. grease has a habit of what you would call flinging off. I use pro long because of its sticking power and coating the gears with a coating of something I don't know the name and am too lazy to go out to the garage and read the tube of grease. its not Teflon. its some kind of coating and it works. the oil just helps to keep it flowing. I don't over pack it. after two months of racing twice a week two hrs a night I open em up and look wash them put them back together and go race again. I haven't replaced a washer. because of the pro long. you know that tv add they add oil start the motor drain add water the things still running after two weeks.. it has a coating I don't care what its called,.lol it works for me. and your all right... I give you my idea. I have been beating your a** at the track.. you walk up and say what motor.?? I say tekin ..YOU SAY WHAT SPRINGS...lol I say black and blue. red orange turned up side down what oils in the shocks 15 w lol no 50 w. racers that win give you a general idea. its up to U to figure it out.. due to your driving style.. you want a video. I will do one.. PM me.. then I will go tear down my truck have the wife hold the camera and in 10 min you have my secret. or just go out put a finger full of grease in the thing.. race it.. AND NO LEAKS see if it works it only costs grease not 500.. for a roller.. isn't this fun..

Even with brand new o-rings, it still feels the same.
