Hmmmm... I'll have to look at why I only have the left rear cup showing signs of wear. Something is going on there. Interesting. Maybe it's set a little lower on the droop. All others are fine. I never get a clicking sound out of anything....all feels rather smooth.
That's the same one that is wearing on mine,i also hardened a set of out drives and will test soon.All the others show almost no wear.

Awesome !!! I'm glad someone else did this also. What steps did you do to harden and temper ?

Heat it up to orange and dip it in used motor oil,i didnt do the temper part.I have done this to Hobbyking cvds and it worked great.The used motor oil also leaves a nice black finish.
 
I did the same but then just heated it in a toaster oven for a while. Making them harder is probably all they need. They don't become brittle enough to worry about the tempering part for their application probably.

when the metal looses its magnatisum is when its hot enough. Then just dip it in used motor oil.

My hardened diff outdrives are showing no wear after 8 runs( one of my stock ones had noticable wear at 8 runs).I did all 6 as i shimmed my diffs.
 
Cool...I only have maybe 3 runs on my hardened outdrives. . Thanks for keeping track of that. Good deal !!!!
 
My kraton's diff outdrive also got wearing like in the right side of the above picture. Any update test result about the hardened outdrive?
