I have had my dB pro since late March, and have had to replace a ton already, nothing being crash related. Love the thing when it’s working, but all the driveshafts/outdrives/axles are terrible out of the box and wear extremely quickly. I ended up doing the tekno axle/outdrives on the front and rear, and the mip kit for all the center driveshafts/outdrives. The pucks system is legit, much smoother and a easily replaceable wear part, as well as making the car significantly quieter. The stock bearings are not great, replaced all with the eddys kit after one literally imploded, and also did the metal diff bearing cups in the rear. And a savox 1258 servo, but that was just a wanted upgrade.
So my current issues...the rear outdrives have a lot of play, so I need to replace the rear diff case. Does anyone know if the Losi aluminum one (listed for the lasernut center diff) will work in the rear? Also, I have wheel nuts loosening up (even with generous amounts of blue loctite) and quickly round out the wheel interface when it happens. Anyone do the hot racing or similar 17mm conversion kit and go to 1/8 scale buggy wheels and tires?
Hi.
I cannot answer all your questions but I have no issues with the Traxxas randomized flanged serrated nuts. They bit good and I use them on my Big Rock and Granite far better than OEM.
I will agree the bearings disappointed me once. I had a rear diff bearing lock-up only after 4-6 packs and I run it only in dirt no water. I was not getting power to the rear only partialy. Took it apart found the diff on one side was locking so I replaced it. I ordered a diff kit I am waiting on.
