Thank you. I’ll check that one out. May have already watched it. I’ve seriously watched about thirty

Edit....Yup, I’ve watched that one. It was a good video.
 
So I am getting ready to shim my diffs and the metal cone (where the bearing slides over) piece that in the diff falls out and is loose when I put the cup back together. Is that normal or is toast? The cup a lot of play in it.

Do you meant the bearing falls off the cup? If so, yes that is normal.
 
No, the metal piece that goes into the diff cup. The piece that bearing slides over and presses into the diff cup.
No that should never come out. It should be molded into the plastic cup. I wouldn't trust that cup.
 
Damn that really sucks. It just fell out. So beyond frustrated
Is it worth it upgrade to the metal diff cup or just buy another plastic?
LHS has both in stock

You talking about the silver piece in the diff that the output shaft goes thru? Thats the bushing. Sounds like the housing got hot and distorted= trash it.Far as alum. Housings i haven't tried any. Im sure sum of these pro bashers on here will chime in.
 
By golly I think I fixed it. Short run to test and it worked. I’ll take it out tomorrow for a real test.

Bought a plastic diff cup and a metal. Went with the plastic for now. I’ll save the metal for a later date that hopefully I won’t need 😂

Seriously. Thank you all for the help. It is greatly appreciated. Let’s hope tomorrow goes great!
 
Took it out for a proper run. Normal place was busy so an open field for speed runs was what I did. Ran almost a full battery pack before leaving. It’s running great again. What a difference the thicker diff oil made. Handles a lot differently. Thank you all again.

What diff fluid is in each diff?
 
Holy moly that thing is moving! Hard to beat the notorious platform. So versatile. What tires where you running? Looked like slicks.

That’s my plan if I got a typhon. Mostly road use.
