Notorious Need more robust diffs

[jedibabaob]

Have had to replace both front and rear diffs recently, I like to jump .... I make mistakes.... but on my next outing after the fix I think I’ve done it again.....clickety click.....

makes me ask what upgrades could I consider as an alternative to the stock diffs if I wanted something more robust .... if there is anything out there

looking for advice ...

you can see from one of the pics as to what I get up to jumping lol ? albeit with my Kraton in this case!

Have you shimmed up the diffs ? Or are you putting In a replacement unit?

it’s all in the shims, and the landings... shims will help you be more bulletproof but they aren’t going to be “full proof”

how are your landings? Are you on the throttle? On throttle landings are killer to the diffs..

I Always release throttle on landing .. don’t get me wrong ive had a few bad knocks in the process but always aim for a neutral landing

think shimming is the way forward - seen it mentioned a lot

thanks ??

There is no diff out there that will survive landings under throttle. The will break quickly.

Check your diff cases and shims, clicking is worn out gears or too much play. Check your diff housing for cracks or stripped bolts.

You could go with alu diff housings but gears will still strip with incorrect throttle management. It would prevent cracked housings.
They are pricey and replacement housings are relatively cheap.
Shim your input gear as well.
