Dif issue

I was still running but I had a really bad vibration coming from somewhere. Amazing isn't it

I check mine every 3-5 outings, depending on what type of environment I have been bashing in, plus I do a complete tear down and get everything spotless and inspected, replaced if need be.

@KRA-TON7 i think this happened a few runs ago. I've only been on one big bash lately i think it was then. But having said that the vibration could be coming from elsewhere.

That’s shite brother I melted a center diff early on with the Outcast ! Now im paranoid I check and change the fluid every 10 ish runs. Probably leave it a little longer if I’m not doing full throttle runs in a park or something.

Your supposed to put oil in them not ground metal paste..????

Looks normal to me

Looks like oil leaked out and everything overheated. Or, it overheated even with oil in it, and the heat caused pressure to build up and break the gasket seal; causing further heat destruction. Solution? Aluminum diff cups wih thicker viscosity diff oil.

Can you clean all that out with some acetone and reuse the parts? Or are they usually no good once they get this hot with the plastics? I've only ever stripped them before myself.

You should be able to reuse the metal bits after cleaning it with acetone and the bearing would need to be regreased
