I'm already breaking the weak driveshafts on these things. I don't think that going higher in fluids for your diffs is going to help there. ?. That would strain the driveshafts more no? More shock?Normal..
200k is too thin IMO. 1M-20M-1M

I’m on the castle 2028 with mmx8SNo idea how your doing that.. I tried to with putting what some call 15hp through the drive line running 12s and haven’t broken any shafts or gears.

I’ve gone through 2 rear CVD’s...
they don’t bend or twist, in my case the diff side pin Falls out ??
I've broken the pin off actually, not the shaft itself. The shaft itself bends like crazy though in the rear.No idea how your doing that.. I tried to with putting what some call 15hp through the drive line running 12s and haven’t broken any shafts or gears.

Yeah I think you are right. I tumbled them pretty bad too.I find the CVD's will bend under the same circumstances that the 6S dogbones/CVD's will bend: a bad one wheel landing that flexes (or breaks) the suspension arm greatly. I'm not sure what you can do about that other than try not to land on one wheel.
THB I haven't ran either of my trucks too many times. The pin broke on the second run on the O8S messing around in the concrete jungle. But like I mentioned before, the pin was off centered on the shaft. So yeah, maybe weak was not the right word to use in that case.You know what they say about a chain, its only as strong as its weakest link. You got 30lbs of truck essentially riding on a couple pins. I can see the pins breaking and shafts bending up from torque, they almost need to come out with a thick spline gear shaft like Kaiju has. BUT, Just like with anything else RC, when you beef up one part others become susceptible. I haven't had these issues yet. You most likely have 4x the amount of packs ran through yours than I do too. I haven't driven mine much since the end of April and before that wasn't very much, my last time out I lost a pivot ball retainer..
Isn’t that the diff housing gasket?Well here's another reason to check your front and rear diffs. I found a small piece of some kind of rubber thing in the bottom of the front diff housing on my K8S. I'm also going replace the metal shielded bearings and the seals on the diffs (not on the O8S because they are are already rubber sealed) . It looks to be too wet in there to be only grease. I'm taking them apart anyways. I didn't change the seals on the O8S. All my diffs were like half empty.

Well it came out like that. Not much of a gasket. It was laying on the floor like that.Isn’t that the diff housing gasket?
