More progress on the minor infraction. Front and rear diffs complete, for now..

Started with the rear, wanted to get that grease out and some actual diff fluid in there.

Used a pick to clean the majority out.

All clean and topped off with 10k.

Mesh was a bit tight, had to file the ridge off behind the bearing on the back of the ring gear to free it up.

Time for the front now.

Oh well.. cleaned it up, and topped it off with 10k also. Glad I checked it tho, I was just gonna let it be, cause it’s supposed to have 10k in there already.. 🙄

Had to file the ridge behind the bearing on this one too. Mesh was crazy tight!

Front reinstalled and greased, now I should probably check the shocks. Who knows if those have enough fluid in them. 🤷‍♂️

I gotta say, these 3s rigs are pretty easy to work on. 😎👍

Hey man, what ridge behind which bearing did you file? I’m very curious, having five 3s rigs and never thought this one out. Thanks bud!

Wish I had a better picture.. but it’s on the back side of the ring gear. There is a little ridge behind the bearing that I filed down flush with the rest of the back side of the ring gear. Doing this opened up the gear mesh a bit. Hopefully that makes sense…

Finally got a connector soldered on the esc. Can you say OVERKILL!!! 🤓

Then double sided taped the esc and switch down.

And put some silver hoons on. 😎

Now I need to take it out for the maiden RIP!! 😈
Think I’ll burn up the stock tires first tho. 🤣
 
Update time, I’ve been trying different things and think I’ve got it almost dialed in how I want. The 26/50 gearing on 4s was wayyyy too much for street bashing. It overheated in literally 20 seconds. So I drop it down to a 2s pack, better, but it was still getting hot 🥵 Then I dropped the gearing down to 20/50 with a 2s pack. Almost perfect for my intentions, however it still got pretty warm before the pack was thru. Well.. You guessed it.. here comes the fan.. 🙄 Still need to try it with the new fan but I’m hopeful it cured my heat problem woes with this motor that I’m starting to think is a wee bit small. 🤷‍♂️

Oh yea, the stock tires are going on pack #6, I honesty thought they wouldn’t make it 1 pack. 😧 They need to pop so I can try the hoons.

Made a sweet little fan bracket out of an old heat sink I had laying around the shop. The curve it has angled the fan perfectly.
Best of all zero cost! 👍
