So about 2 minutes in the paddle tires and I shared off the pin gear ? Not sure exact name, but it’s the gear that sits on the pin, that connects each end of the diff, completely busted it into 3 pieces, just want to make sure, the Kraton/outcast exb diffs fit this no issue correct ? Gearing is the same as well? Thanks

Also this is the rear differential, I noticed when the rear left wheel completely stopped spinning, hard to believe the diffs are that weak?
 
Not normal, no. Replace them with some hardened pins. And while your in there, make sure they are shimmed well.
A paddle maybe grabed something the wrong way?

They share same gear ratio, yep. One might have LSD… or might not. You need to open it up to confirm.

In my experience, the biggest diff-killer is shock to the system. Landing on WOT or getting instant traction when there wasn’t any will eventually break teeth and/or shear pins.

Post pics to help us troubleshoot.

Do you have a link for any hardened pins ?? Thanks
 
The two bigger gears in the diff is called the sun gear. The other 4 smaller ones are called satellite gears.
 
I think it might be worth it to upgrade to exb diffs especially now that the blx lines will be coming with them now. Jenny’s will sell them cheap.
 
Wow that sun gear got shredded. Did the small outdrive pin also break?

Nothing broke except the sun gear and the pin it that holds it in place, I just ordered 2 exb diffs gonna just completely swap both the front and rear,
