Another informative video.......thanx!!!! I like your camera angles and lighting. I finally got my improvised paint box/exhaust fan gizmo up and running and it worked flawlessly during the tail hook paint job. The only issue is that I'm limited in terms of part size.......small stuff is no problem but I couldn't paint an entire truck body. I also picked up some of that triple guard grease you luv so much. A differential teardown is near the bottom of my bucket list. You're way ahead of me partner.........I'm running as fast as I can........I'm not as young as I used to be........one model at a time!!!!!

I disassembled my HG P802 and added one million diff oil. It works a lot better. But I did find that the 802 and 408 model has plenty of grease on the gears.

Looks and sounds like my lesu 1/14 axles. Solid but loud

Hey bud good info cuz I’ve got both the p801 and p802 heading my way stay tuned 😁👍🏼

HG uses lock tite on alot of thier set screws, it takes a little careful heat to break them loose.

thanks for your very detailed tear down video, I have been looking to buy one of these. as for that axle shaft with no bearing in the center diff carrier, not even your real car or truck has a bearing there, I build axles & transmissions FIY, there are just thrust washers and grooves in the carrier metal to allow diff fluid to flow thru those areas where axle shaft rotates inside the carrier housing . cant wait to see your trailer idea, and maybe a front loader painted to match the military scheme

I've heard silly putty works well as a diff locker as it's easy to remove after and with veering amounts you can retain a very minimal amount of diff movement... I've also see the springs from a bick liter used to push the inner gears out making a kinda limited slip in that it's like a locked diff unless a tire really binds up a tire suppose the puddy wood have the same type of reaction depending on the amount used ?!?! Best of luck and grate video

Great video! I did this as described, using the Evinrude Triple-Guard grease, but it largely did nothing. Diffs are just smoother running now, I expected it to be very tight like when you tried to twist it in the video @ 11:26. I packed it full, so I thought, some grease was even squirting out the screw holes of the black plastic housing when I attached the 2nd axle... what did I do wrong? Is that some 20-million weight grease?

Looks like they use a lot of Traxxas parts in the axel. All internal parts look like Traxxas parts.

Very informative video. Where else would you see the axles inside? Plastic housing in a truck that can load 5kg-just a turn off to me..Thanks for video/Subscribed!

Thank you for showing the guys of one of the axles. What are you going to do with this rig when you are done making videos? Of course play with it a few times, but is it going to become a shelf queen? Will you be in the market to sell it and it trade it off... Please note, I can't stand it when folks ask if I am willing to trade for something I have that they desire of mine, but, desperate times while I am healing a broken back... I have a Tamiya Highlift, that is never been ran, and has a bunches of dust on the unit, lol, is is a shelf queen... But, I made a scaled out full functioning plow for it, servo lifted via high torque ball bearinged metal/brass gear train type servo... I have some videos of it, when I was building it, several years ago, if you would check those out, to see the details I incorporated into it... I can offer to ship it to you as well to let you look it over in person, and if not interested, kindly ship it back. Although this sound risky on my behalf to do. the truck just sits there, as it is kinda a sore spot for me, as I was hired to machine a functioning plow for the High lift, and the guy realized how much the cost was totaling, and left.me hanging, so to speak, which is in part why I never ran it and just makes me grovel every time I look at the thing, as I know I will never get what I put into it back out, which R&D, designing, materials and time, cost of the truck, is over $2000.00. If there is of interest I can do much better videos of it, as those videos are many many years old, back when the Tamiya High Lift was first released, 5, 8, 12 years ago??? I don't know... Please note, I do not wish to sound pushy, not at all, and you are under no obligation for any of this horse trading ideas.. I live in Indiana and used to operate as 984 A1 wrecker back in the day, and was some type f the most amazing experiences in my life, and for the first time ever, I was actually good at this. Set some new provisions that were "by design" not supposed to be able to do, that actually were implemented into the mil spec manual.... I'll stop, I am about to write a novel here, sorry... Let me know what you think, or of no interest at all, I won't be offended at all, but, the squeaky wheel get its oil, lol...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5eJl5eiq9ylY5s.html

The 3rd and 4rd axels are not independet to rach other yes?

Can you leave a link to buy the product?

Hi bob nice video you think if I put that heavy grease on differential helps the traction control on the differential?

Hi - where did you get this rotating beacon from ? Would like to add it to my methanol powered 1:12 HEMTT as well.

😉👍👍👍💯

Hi! Great movie. Has this truck all real differentials without locking?

Is differential are really work,means all tyres are independis move

Hello! my P802 arrived last Friday, I never used it, and I noticed that the seats of the bearings in the axles and in the gearbox, are not very precise ... let me explain: if we take a transmission shaft and try to move it up and down, near the entrance of the axles or the gearbox, we notice that there is a lot of space around the bearing! I do not think it should be there! Am I wrong?

Hi: I have the P801... concerning my left front tire... a pin (part # W01002) somehow came out of it's hole/slot and broke it's housing (part # C006). This assemble can be found in the Chassis Structure booklet, on page 12, in section # 24. I have ordered a new part of each and I'm waiting for them to be sent to me. Once I get them and reassemble the left outer axel unit, do I need to provide some sort of grease in the housing (part # C006). It appeared when I took it apart to assess the damage, that there wasn't any grease in there. Is this why the part failed initially? It looks like the pin (part # W01002) somehow became pushed out of it's slot ( bending the pin beyond future use) and warpping the housing (part # C006) until it cracked and broke... causing the tire to cease turning. Can you provide me with any advice? Keep up the good work.

Did you happen to calculate the gear ratio?

It's way similar to an old axiql scx10...

what are you using for a beacon

JB weld ? Or putty

is this built better than a tamiya truck?

If you want to "lock" an axle, just stuff some silly putty in there. Wear gloves when handling the differential and putty so you don't trap the natural oils from your skin in between the putty and the gears which can cause rust and/or other forms of corrosion (unless the gears are nylon, then it doesn't really matter).

the bearing is on the diff to keep gear mesh, just like a real life car.. same design. and the shaft aint ever gonna wear thru that housing, unless one of 2 things, the plastic is $hit or ridiculous 1 tire spin action for a LOOONG time.... 1/8 scale nitro buggys have plastic housing and dont grenade them
