I recently posted about this, and Thanks to those who helped me identify what part to order. But that got me to thinking, what if the damage goes deeper into the diff, and more importantly what actually caused this damage? I'd hate to replace the outdrives or rebuild the diff, and have this happen again...
Kraton 6s v4 Front Left Outdrive Damage
What do you think caused outdrive damage?
I'm new to the hobby, so I'm learning a lot. My research on Youtube and here doesn't really give me clarity on what normally causes this. I run my Kraton on grass, dirt, or asphalt on my street. In this case, I built a little 12 inch high ramp and was jumping on my street. Some of my landings were not so graceful. I do remember a few landings where the Kraton landed on one tire. Maybe the damage happened when I landed on the front left tire alone while pegging the throttle, the tire gripped, but the diff was trying to push, and it broke the outdrive. Another piece of info is earlier that day I replaced the stock steering blocks with the Hot Racing upgrades (AON21M01). I'm not sure how that could have caused the damage, but it is something to keep in mind since I certainly had to remove then replace the dogbones in the process.
My new steering blocks:
Here are my questions:
1. What do you think causes this type of outdrive damage?
2. Are there any other diff parts that I should be concerned about?
3. Could changing my diff fluid weight improve my situation?
Thanks in advance!!
