2 leaky diff cups 1 i damaged because too many shims and i splitted the diff cover in the rear by overtitening one screw on my hot racing gearbox yey me. And if it wasnt bad enough i had to make two orders because i forgot to put the gearbox on the order so i had to pay shipping twice. Broke nothing really on my exb so far one an rpm wing mount and a sun gear but it never started clicking. Its more of a lucky maintenence i did because i was bored and i found that

Be sure to put the LSD plates the correct way. Its not nub friendly i did t know the exb LSD had a smooth side and a sharp side it might have an effect on the sun gear wall failing
 
Was already broken, sheered the screws off the other day on a bad landing now this today with another... Damn it, I don't like the look of the Kraton without the wing and now my rear shocks and tower are exposed to more damage?. Need to get a rear bumper anyways guess this is even more incentive.

Rpm wing Mount
 
Ya I've already got an extra Arrma one ready but now have to pull schematics and see where the screws I sheered off go, hoping it's not into the gearbox cause don't want to buy a new one just for the wing/wheelie bar. But yes will be ordering RPM next time for sure can't go wrong with anything made by RPM!
*Just checked schematics and yep of course screw go into top of gearbox so be ordering that as well?

Gernaded the rear diff on the K8S ?
It was acting like the 6s rigs when you break the out drive pin behind the sun gear. Opened it up and found this, cracked in 3 places! When I opened up the diff itself, it completely fell apart. Absolutely destroyed!! ?

What weight oil were you using..?? Do you think you went too heavy oil or do you think just a bad diff case..?? ?

500k, apparently these plastic cups can’t handle the gut wrenching torque of a 2028 ?
 
- Granite shock shaft pulled out of the press fit rod end at the end of the session (yay!). I have a brand new replacement shock at home and a new shaft + rod end assembly already ordered at the LHS.

- Kraton dogbone got out of the output cup and got jammed between the a arm and the cup. Took me probably 20 minutes and lots of bad words to get the upper hinge pin out and finally unjam the whole thing.

- Pinion came loose again. Copious amount of red thread locker was used earlier this week. I’ll do it the right way this time and properly clean everything before re-applying thread locker. We’ll see how that goes.

Was a good day. Lots of backflips with the Kraton and my son has landed countless double and triple backflips with the Granite.
 
Smacked a fence post in the front right side of my K6s?. FR suspension mount toasted completely snapped on both sides hopefully that's all that's damaged have to pull it apart and see...? Suggestions for some better mounts, maybe HR? Not looking to spend a ton.

The HR ones are ok, I’m a fan of the CRCU ones available thru Just bash it. They cost a bit more $31-33 each opposed to $18-19 for the HR, but the CRCU are made of 7075 ?
Or there’s always M2C
