If you have a longer tool tip, your meant to go down the center of that half shaft to access those screws.

I bought these tires for it Pro-Line Racing Badlands MX28 2.8 MTD Raid Black 6x30 F/R PRO1012510 RC Tire The chassis needed to be modified but you have way more control no speed wobble... It does pop wheelies so there's still some work needing to be done to drop the front and raise the back... But it's a night and day difference with control.

The stock diffs are a bit stiff but get looser quick. the Senton dont really need stronger diffs as the wheels are small and light. Sealing the power module opening is a must! i use some blue painters tape and it stays clean. you'll destory the spur & motor quick if you dont do that

I did that to my big rock 3s a while ago, keep some shims on hand! I run through maybe 5-10 batteries per week, and I've only had to add 1 shim to the rear diff over the last few months. I don't go super hard bashing, skatepark once a week, but a ton of beach running. And look at the mod to cut a slot below the spur gear in the chassis, let's everything fall right out. I've been on the same metal HR spur gear since I got the truck last year.

Those are actually better than the 4s diffs. The stock 4s diffs are of weaker powdered metal. Youre not supposed to pop the driveshaft joints, you just need a really long hex driver to get into it!
@KurtsRCs Жыл бұрын
Haha sometimes it is good to watch KZfaq you could have looked up the easy way to get the drive shafts off the hubs haha, the cheap hex drives are long and can fit through the whole drive shaft to get to that screw. If you want them to be extra strong get the HR yoks keeps the input and ring gear from separating

When removing the axles from the diff, youre supposed to have a long 2mm driver and go into the axle shaft to unscrew the screw. No need to take apart the u joint.

Better way in stead of tapping up the motor mount. Drill a hole in your chassis to let sand and gunk out. Works way better then trying to tape off that motor gap

Seems like a good way to burn thru a bunch of money for nothing. The odds of stripping the original diff is pretty hard unless you abuse the poor things. All this does it send the shock up the drive train to the spur and drive axle which now both have to be replaced with metal
