Kraton Kraton EXB Brand new exb center diff clicking issue.

[zizi8862]

So I was installing some new hot racing parts for the center diff mount and I noticed the center diff did not spin freely and had a clicking sound, I did alot of reading up on the issue and Im going to tear mine down and see whats going on with it, I do have some very slightly play with the diff cups moving in and out so I don't feel its the gears meshing to tightly together, the feel i get is like the lsd parts are the ones causing the problem. I will post more as I tear this down and examine it and try to see whats actually causing this and what I can do to remedy it before any parts or shims need to be ordered. If anyone here also ran into the same issue please post here what your issue was and what you did to fix it.

Im looking at putting some hot racing center diff holder on my exb too as im not a fan of the plastic holder. Was this what you put in?

don't use that. It was made for the v2-3. You need this

I used the red one above, don't use the black one diff cover will not seat all the way down it hits the diff gear.

Thanks will get the red one. Did you end up changing your diff case to the red optional arrma one instead of stock. I thought the stock one was metal??

Good idea to get the arrma metal one for the center diff if your truck has the Rtr Diff

Thanks will definitely check it out. Last time I topped up the diff I didn't even pay attention to housing but I thought with exb it would have been metal

If you have the exb the exb diff cup are not yet released. They are still in pro order i believe

If you get metal diff case, make sure its the 29mm case, arrma makes 2 different diff cases.
