  1. Outcast 6s
See attached photos. Looks like during a nasty tumble my gearing got damaged. The car now if i push it forward locks up in the rear wheels. If i push it backward it kind of works but makes bad noises.

So it basically has a bad mesh now, i think the large gear is now off axis, and whatever that is circled in red in the photo got burnt through and the part in there rotates (it looks like it shouldnt be there, not sure what it is).

Is this a full center diff rebuild or what? Anyone got a parts list :)

You have melted your centre diff lol

Be easier to get a complete centre from a parts breakers like Jenny's. Metal diff cups will stop it happening again.
Damn did i bash it too hard or what :LOL: I will look into parts for a center rebuild. Maybe check bearings while im at it.

Going to guess grass became lodged in there and created too much friction then the whole thing melted. I might need a grass net or something
 
Any arrma 6s just go whit upgrade housing and no problem after

It won't be from grass, it is from the diff working and creating heat. To stop it, either be less enthusiastic on your throttle when you see the fronts ballooning, go to a higher weight fluid or use a metal diff housing.

To fix it you will need either one of these if you want to upgrade to an EXB diff (worth doing IMO):

Or this for standard:

Or you could use a Fireteam centre diff which benefits from the aforementioned metal diff cup:

It will be far cheaper just buying that from Jenny's than piecing the parts together
