Shoooweeee! You cooked it lol

 

[Mojave man]

It looks like it stretched in the middle. Its not something grinding on it, its more like it stretched out and made sort of thin pointy bubbles in the plastic. Some of them are popped. Centrifugal forces?

How heavy is the fluid in it?

 

[Mojave man]

Stock 100k. I was also running it on a 20t pinion.

doing wheelies before it failed?

edit: sct maybe not

 

[Mongoose]

What was the temp outside? If you were doing long full throttle passes back to back, like on a football field or something like that then it could definitely happen.

Man, I thought M2C Racing made diff cups for the Arrma line but it looks like just for Tekno? If that’s the case the I guess the new Arrma Aluminum diff cup is the way to go to keep this from happening again.

I did do one wheelie... at least it still works kinda, no holes=works???
It was hot as usual In australia, but i was not doing full throttle passes. I was only doing some jumps around a bmx track

 

[Mongoose]

Eh, I wouldn’t run it again. Have you opened it to check the fluid level? May have been really low and caused it.

That’s some nice lava

I got my 6s centre driveline very hot once, after doing lots of wheelies. Dog bones and everything was hot, dam hot. To hot to hold.

 

[Mojave man]

My driveline is always most of the time too hot to touch

I’m in brisbane

Is there any damage that can be caused by running it with this half dead diff?

 

[Warby]

I think the damage is already done. At worse it may open and loose drive or oposite, lock like a spool. Or come apart and contact on other components. I think that would be worse case scenario. Sudden stop may break something else.

Yeah you’re right. I think Im going to steal the centre diff from my senton.

 

[Warby]

how do you compare your Senton to the Mojave?

 

[Surchaufeur]

Was there enough oil inside?
