I seen those tekjo gaskets before but i just use a piece of gorilla tape on the chassis poke holes and trim with a rzr work just as good a big roll last forever lol my problem is the top cover
Probs that 200 center weight saving you. Many people don’t understand that thicker center diff fluid exponentially hurts drivetrain components. When you nail the gas with thin center diff fluid, the power goes to the place with least resistance. This means the front. All it does is spin the tires. If you put super thick fluid in there and gun it, the power will be split evenly from front to rear... the rear will grip, the tires will bite, and you have 3-4 horsepower going right through the rear differential and bleeding out absolutely nowhere... with a weak differential design, it’ll kill it with no issue. That’s crazy torque not being bled out.
Exactly. Blowing diffs for increased traction is the trade off here... plus the max 6 on max punch is more torque then any 1/8 can put down safely. No jumps and no full throttle and my diffs would last as well...
I run 1 mil in the center of my Kraton with a Max6 and a Hobbystar 4092 1730 kv motor. Zero issues with the diffs. None. Nada. Zip. There should be no problem running 500k or a mil with stock electronics unless you don't know how to drive and constantly land under throttle.
I'm going to buy extra diffs and build them to have spars and tuning options ?
I was just about to say, you’re very good at driving, so no wonder you don’t run into issues. For people who are bad at driving, it’ll matter
You must have good luck
Same same.
Luck with all 4 of my 6s bashers? Riiiiight.
Maybe you aren’t lucky after all?
I don't think it has anything to do with luck. First I think people over shim their internal gears which leads to the broken gears and pins. I stopped shimming the insides long ago. Second, I think people don't realize if they have a lose gear box cover or a damaged gearbox which will allow the pinion and ring gear to slip and chip teeth. And third I think that driver error is a big component. I damaged two or three diffs and it was all in the first 4 months of ownership. Since then I've upped the power and haven't had a single diff issue. I bash my trucks as hard as the next guy. I don't land under power, I don't do standing backflips and I don't self right. If you want to sell the idea that the 6s diffs are made of glass, be my guest. I'm just relaying my experience with my trucks.
How do you have it shimmed? Where did you add shims in the inside?
Didn't add any... everything is stock . It was actually just swapped in today from a Jenny's rc diff and bulk head assembly. I swapped to 60,000 at and changed the pins in it. Other then that was brand new. Has been 6 pins in last week or so in all diffs. All bearings are free and clean. Everything is tight. Running 60, 1 million, 60 for oils. Currently. Also second sun I have split in 2 weeks. Both times I wasn't even in the air at the time. Has been too cold to really jump here in Michigan.
