Kraton v6 kraton lsd diff?

[danny504]

Does the v6 kratons all come stock with the lsd differentials? They seem like more of a headache to tune. Can a person just get rid of them and re fit with the old style diffs? thanks in advance

I think the EXB version does. Go to the Arrma site and look at the specs for your rig.
Just for a heads up, the EXB diffs have bigger drive pins that don’t break and are actually, arguably, easier to tune than the open diffs. There are only three ways to set them up, and tuning by fluid viscosity isn’t nearly as critical as it is with the open ones. Just keep the factory weights in them and set them up the way you want them. On my EXB Mojave I set them up high front, high center, and got the plate kit to convert the rear to open. Yes, they are a little trickier to build. It usually takes me at least two tries per diff to get them right. Watch a video. Very helpful. Here is a sticky thread chock full of everything you need to know.

Thread 'How to shim your Arrma diff'

Dec 19, 2017

This is something we get asked a lot on the forums and nearly every single time the answer to those threads are to watch this video. So as suggested, I created a sticky thread for this very question.

We can also use this thread to have a "one place to go" for this information.

Also check out the thread: Shims that work for Arrma diffs

Enjoy!

When you rebuild them and they’re perfect you get a deep feeling of satisfaction. I feel a little smug about it…

LSD Diffs are stronger and you can set them up as open diffs if you just want to tune with the diff fluid. Use the spacers instead of the plates.

Only the center diff is the new LSD type, the front and rear are standard diffs.

You can open the LSD center diff and run it like a normal center diff, would have to remove the LSD plates and use the standard spacers, which you would need to purchase to do this.
