[BashingBrian]

I have bought some but not fitted them yet, I too would be interested if they add more slop etc..?

Great guy at Tek_jo, might drop him a msg.

Personally I'd soak it in some diff oil before fitting in order to help it seal nicely when fitting it all back together.

always do lol but thanks guys im just over thinking lol just doing anything I can do to the diffs to make them better

No worries @martysmith223 . Just thought I'd mention it and can't blame you for asking questions & doing whatever you can to make the diffs better. If a jobs worth doing it's worth doing right.

Are they cheaper than the ones from Arrma?

For me in the US, I actually found the Tek_jo's to be slightly more expensive than the Arrma's because of the shipping costs involved. I think it's definitely worth the slight difference in price though. The Tek_jo's are just a little thicker, and hold up better. As other's have mentioned on here, soaking them in lighter weight diff oil helps{I soak mine overnight}.. Especially if you're running a higher powered setup than factory. The stock Aarma gaskets tore on me, no tears when running the Tek_jo's.

Arrgh. First I've heard of these. I have new factory Arrma ones sitting in the package in front of me- one arrived already broken.

Where are you guys getting these?

 

[Lazy Bushman]

I have a few packets of Arrma and o-rings in reserve but always keen to find stuff as good or better at an affordable price

 

[Notorious J]

These gaskets work well too, but the o rings are too large

Well bringing this alive. I have tek_jo 3 s diff seals since a few weeks after i bought the kraton 4s and their diff seals for the 3s line well.. lets just say i had to stretch it a bit to make it fit on the screw holes. And i think i have a leakage my clear grease has a line of whote collored grease idk if its the greasse who did that but i know my grease is pretty tick and when i feel the one inside my gearbox its pretty thin.. i have a 1-2 spots that the outside edge next to one screw hole is cut idk if this is enough to cause a leak. I have it on all of them all 4

You can see it seals really well where the screws are but look at the other sides maybe its leaking from there?
I don't remember but the stock in the rear broke in 2 parts i think by my own stupidity at the time

Also marks where the planetary gears were chewing the gasket

You can contact him trought ebay with tekjo

Tekjo vs stock stock seems to have wider sides thats why i have to stretch the tekjo gasket up

 

[Clubin]

Yes seen his eBay listings.
Thank you.

And my diff cap is kinda compressed where the screws goes in mabe because of the thickness of their gasket might have to just get another crowngear when i get my new diff yokes hot racing

 

[Surchaufeur]

After inspesction my clear grease has turned white and my car was only sitting on the shelf i decided to mix grease and diff oil togueter and grease became white so i do have a leak in the rear and front but idk if switching to the original gasket will solve this because the endcap of the crown gear is a bit sunk where the screws threads in putting a lot more pressure in that part of the diff than on the other corners and not having proper pressure in every corner of the gasket can result in a slow leak that you cant detect it did affect the grease proprieties to lubricate when i compared to fresh grease they were completly differant
