Can't help but chuckle everytime you say "diffryentchal" gear. But great video, thanks, nice to know what to expect before pulling it all apart.

Both of these videos just came in so handy for me so thank you for posting these. Very helpful and practical information.

I just followed all the steps and thank you. I found no problem but a lot of sand and a dead motor. Your videos arei verry well made and usefull.🤘👍👊👌

Awesome video. I acquired a 1990's Hawk Truck and then damaged the differential. Your video most useful in figuring out what parts I needed and how to fix. it.

Great video Jason. This video helped big time when I swapped the stock Traxxas gearbox case for an RPM one.

Excellent video series. My 11 yr old is gonna use these to rebuild his first diff!

Thanks for this, I let my boy take the 1/10 Torment out in the snow and he managed to blow the motor and chew all the gears in the box up. Everything's pretty much the same despite the difference in brand, so now I've got the knowledge - now I'm gonna make *him* do all the work so he learns not to overspin the tires (and maybe learn a little about mechanics on the way).

One of the best youtube vids ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!!!!!! You saved me hours of frustration.

This video is perfect! Thanks man.

Good vid. I did this to my stampede front and back. I took out the spider gears and cleaned everything with mineral spirits. But the little blue seals swelled up twice their size so I bought new seals and bearings and new grece.

Very nicely done. Thank you!

great video, made it easy

what great tutorials! i´m no beginner but, i have slash just for 6 months and this made the gearbox servis much easier, thanks :)

Thanks for your help.

A little late but I rebuilt my trans using this video and I used the traxxas silicone grease as described in the video but it leaked everywhere leaving my diff dry. I have recently learned that the rustler stock diff isn't sealed so a thin grease or oil will just leak out. It seems a thicker grease like the one used in the video will work a lot better in the rustler diff.

u can also use toothbrush to brush off the grease from the teeth of the gears..

Good video thanks

Thank you very much Sir!

@EngageTutorials Awesome and your welcome.

Nice . Thanks

Hi! Thank you for the excellent tutorial! Can the Traxxas 2wd diffs also hold diff oil instead of grease, or will they become leaky messes with oil? I think diffs that can take oil have a paper gasket & little o-rings which I didn't see here. (And those can still be a leaky mess) Thanks again!

darkeclipticheart would you recommend soaking the gearbox case as well as the idler gear in WD-40 to completely remove the old grease?

I would recommend soaking all the gears and bearings and washers in WD40 it helps remove grease

Thanks 😀👍

Go ahead and go ahead but when you go ahead make sure you go ahead.

@gh3ttod3vil Good point. I'll make a note of that in the video.

Inside of the diff gear is silicone grease and in the transmission is white lithium grease.

Thanks👍

very well done video! I have one question if you can answer it? I think my differential went out, its acting as if the slipper clutch is on loosely. but its tightened down all the way... my car wont move !!! even though the motor and the pinon and the spur gear are all working fine. no teeth are missing :( I just want to try to narrow down the problem, so I don't buy the wrong part.. I will try taking it apart again.. and look at the diff.. thank you ! for an awesome video!

Awesome

After all the time passed this video still helped me , so thanks. Also I wonder if you can help me, my rustler wont move when I put it down although the motor is spinning , when I left it up ,, only one wheel is spinning.

Hi - Just back in the Hobby after 20 years... (old RC10 guy)... I have a nearly stock Bandit that I will be club racing in a Hobby stock class Oval... Do you have a video for Hard surface Oval Suspension setup!? Wondering what you would suggest for med/advanced setup for limiters and oil on each corner!? Advise appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Hello! i used traxxas diff lube instead of the black grease... is that ok?

What kind of grees did u use in the differential gear ?

I used Marine grease on mine, is that chill?

Late to the convo. But my 2wd vxl rustler clutch shaft roll pin keeps falling out of gear. I noticed theres no washer. Is washer needed to keep pin in the gear?? Thanks!

alright thank you.

1st comment. you rock.

i shredded my metal differential gears in my rustler vxl yesterday

using lithium based bearing grease will that work?

Would locking the diff help with slipping?.

@mohammad0050 Over time yes it will break the gears if you don't use the grease.

Moly Lithium Grease. But I suggest you use traxxas's Silicone Grease.

whoa. i have the same little screwdrivers as u.

Can't u use a de greaser and regrease everything?

Ouch. I haven't done that yet.

@preciadoalex123 You're going to need to replace two gears. First you need the metal toothed differential gear. Part #2381. It cost about $6. You'll also need a metal Idle gear part # 3696. That gear cost around $5. The drive gear should be metal. Do the steps I show in the videos and you're good to go.

little question , are al the gaers in the diff even big ?

Did the transmission on the pre-XL-5 Rustler/Stampede/Bandit have metal gears?

yeah i couldnt believe it

what grease do you use in the diff because i dont want to buy

My diff gear is plastic and all the rest of the internal gears are metal.Im having slipping problems but everything looks ok when I took it apart.

My shafts coming out of the diff dont have holes thru them either.

what about diff lube 30000 cps instead of grease? that grease is that?

hi buddy would not changing and not greasinge gears break the gears them selfs plz let me know

my gears are plastic (1999 traxxas stampede) how do i make them metal and how much is the conversion?

Hola, una rueda tracciona y la otra no? O las 2 al mismo tiempo?

I bought lucas xtra heavy duty grease for the diff. Its green. will it work ok?

What if you don't youse Traxxas grease and it's your first time

Depends on how much you drive it. If you drive it all the time then yeah.

what black grease did u use?

do hobby shops do this for you?

I know mine does. You'll have to ask them.

how do you remove the first gear you removed from the shaft. you have it in your hand at 1:55 i stiped my trani now 3 times and want to replace everything now and i can not remove it i appricate everyones responce

ok so i finished replacing the stripped gears and reinstalled every thing and it does the same thing btw i used black greese in differ.

That’s a lot of steps. Started playing with my slash again nmd was wondering if it’s dirty or dry somehow. I stopped using it years ago, it runs, but noticed that if I go neutral, it stops pretty quickly, not sure if it’s bec of the settings

someone please help. i was running my slash vxl today when suddenly it was just slipping, i know for sure it wasnt hex, pinion or spur gear related. and the axles seem ok but the left axle is spinning as strong as the right???? but it will not move with a load

Great video, nice explanations not like some on KZfaq. But why wast all that time cleaning like you do and not just use brake cleaner

could you use white litheam greese inside the differentcheal?

We’re do you get your star hex drivers fom

Why does nobody have a parts list in the description!?!?!?!

is it bad if i do this evry 2 jears

@darkeclipticheart k thanks

An easier way to clean the gears is just leave them in kerosene for an hour it will also remove rust

I didn't have tape on my Stampede

can I us 45 weight shock oil in my diff

@darkeclipticheart 8:08 not that painful if you use a toothbrush.

Thanks I just put 500k in my diff

let s say an avrage of 2 times a weak , and i planning to do a gigantic maintanance so about after 1 jear and six months

You could but that grease isn't made for it.

diff-ree-ential lol

When the gets popped shit gets REAL!!!

a traxxas grease.

YOU BROKE MY RC CAR

I striped the crap out of my idler gear :(

DIFF REE ENSHAL gear. Perfect vid for RC noobs that are scared to do their own work.

This didn’t help :(

Rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush
