Kraton Question about diffs, and the wayt the truck sounds

[Skurred]

Hey all, so I recently was rebuilding my diffs, and noticed that the truck is louder in forward than it is in reverse, and it got me wondering why? I would take a video but Im at work...So if nothing is concluded by the time I get home tonight I will take a video showing what I mean.

But it is so much more pleasant to listen to in reverse than moving forward...to the point of I am thinking about switching the way the diffs are installed and then reversing in the esc to see if it stays quiet then in forward...but I am hoping to get confirmation or not about if theres something wrong maybe? or if anyone else has noticed the different sound. Or maybe it's because there is far less power because the esc has reverse limited to 25%? But then I did try the throttle pulled only about 25% and it was still much more quiet when in reverse...meh. Reverse sound just so much smoother and quieter.

Hoping there is some insight on this

Do you have spiral gears? Spirals prefer to turn one way.

I've noticed this also after building diffs. I think it's kinda normal.

I actually just upgraded the diffs and input gears to the exb versions, so yes

When assembling, the diff sits on the left of the crown/pinion gear in the kraton.

Yea thats how I have them, maybe something needs some shimming with the input gears? I dunno will have another poke around tonight
