Granite Granite blx hot racing input gear diff does not fit

[ghozti3]

I tried the hot racing diff in the rear of my granite and it didn’t work because the input gear is too long and it bottoms out in the slipper clutch housing before the motor housing snaps in place? Someone here can help me? I’m not using the hr yoke

The V3's have a shallower slipper housing because of the plastic nut in there. I'm guessing HR hasn't updated their input gear to be shorter to match, and only fit V1/V2's.

I 86’d that lock nut. Don’t know yet if that’s a good idea or not.

You mention “the hot racing diff” -Are you referring to the HR aluminum diff carrier case?

You can lose the lock nut or cut the input gear. I cut my input but be careful if you do. I like the nut on my slipper

I’m going to try and grind that nut down.

Yes he did. He cut the nut in half and filed down the input gear shaft til it fit properly.

Next time cross reference the part numbers to make sure it will fit. (Read & understand the product description before ordering it)

Too late, but the latest Arrma metal differential and input gear upgrades have been changed to accommodate the slipper nut.

Ok so I took the diff over to a buddies and I used a grinder and I took off a 1/16 maybe an 1/8 of the hr input gear, presto fixed. Snapped right in place lol
