TB04 Gear Diff build question
Hy there!
I have build up a TB04 Gear Diff for my Evo instead of the Spec Rīs.
I sanded the gears only a bit. Once i have assambled it and filled it up with 3000 oil the diff feels very tight compared to my 417 gear diff filled with the same oil.
I havent it tried at the track right now, but it seems to bee very tight.
Now my question. How much have you sanded yout internal gears?
Greetings Rainer

Normaly I use 1500 or 2000 oil, I don't drive modified, so 3000 is to high for me.
Sanding:
-Small gears
Only short sanding for a clean back
-Big gears
I sanded them a littlebit longer, until the molding noses disappeared
The result was, that I was able to use the small bevel gears with 0.1mm shims.
In my oppinion this diff runs more free than my first one without this modification.

Hi, I've built mine with metal gears without sanding any gears and use 1000 oil.

Working on the next big thing: Evo IX
A little preview for you. The 418 suspension fits in the rear, the front suspension will also work, but I have to change the shiming.

Now it is nearly completed. Probably I will change to split blocks, but I'm not sure.
My next step is to update my electrics and then we will see, how the car works.

I think I'm done.
Only waiting for the direct servo horn and the 418 bumper holder.
Probably someone has an good idea, where I could place a fan for the engine.

If you want lowered shock towers. I mounted my tcxx standard shock towers on it. You can only use (2) screws. But you get more shock adjustment options and lowers the towers quite a bit.

My aim is to get the Evo V MS shock towers, then I can switch between 5 and 5 MS. So I should get the whole range of shock positions.
I have no need for lower shock towers, cause I have no short shocks. (not yet)

Here is my setup from ETS Hrotovice last november.
It is without the 418 suspension!
I had to add 60g balance weight. 30g in the bumper and 2x 15g under the drivetrain.
Be careful, it is based on an Evo V, not MS!

Got a TB03D Spool, it fits much better than my Evo4 Spool. Now I can use TB04 gears in the whole drivetrain.
