Ok friends she's been tucked away in a corner while we pimped out my sons rig LONG ENOUGH ! It's time to get her ready for blasting...center diff here we come ! Good thing we always give an RTR a go through first looks like a leaky diff and man look at that LUDICRIOUS LOCTIGHT on them screws ! Do not attempt this without heat guys ! I tell ya it took 30-40 seconds of heat to get these screws to break free...ONWARD !

Center diff successfully disassembled emptied filled with 200k new gasket and 2 new sealed bearings. I hope it's right I don't know how you guys deal with 500k. While I was in there I had this beautiful aluminum center diff brace from Practical Prototype Solutions just waiting for a chance to shine. Always love to support small business that does it right and Bob at PPS hits the mark. Someday I hope to pick up the motor mount and cover such awesome workmanship. Front and rear diff to go and we'll be getting closer to GO TIME ! Thanks to all that lend a hand with their expert advice !

I see an addition grub screw hole for the stock pinion...is there supposed to be 2 grub screws in the stock pinion or just the one ?
 
With the super nice day today and my Typhon not ready yet I was ordered into front diff surgery this evening ! Good thing we give these RTR rigs a go through before blasting...this front diff did not have nearly enough fluid in there...but we fixing that with some 60k loving !
