This is the best diff repair explained on KZfaq, I broke my diff today and watched this again before disassembly, parts on order now, thank you sir for this help.

Oh my god I've owned my e revo 4 years and never knew about sliding the diff out through the two slots thanks for the tip lol MY old man brain

That't the reason why I parked my E-Revo for a couple of years actually. After I switched to 3s Lipo batteries, during my first run i blew a tyre away, a week later the drive shaft, which I replaced with the metal one. Then I broke axis couple of times so I mounted metal ones, like you did. And then of course, no more weak parts, so it came the time for the front diff. Changed it, new run a week later.. and after a bad jump, rear diff broke one tooth... Last time i run my E-Revo brushless.

This is funny. I’ve watched tons of your videos bashing and reviewing. Now I’m fixing mine watching you 😂😂😂🏆🏆🏆👍

As a beginner i followed your video for fixing my rear diff. It was not as hard as i thought or read about, but youre video really helped! You seem like a nice guy. Cheers from Sweden! :)

This video was a godsend for me. Tried doing it on my own first a few months ago and gave up trying to figure it out. This video was done very well

this video is a life saver! been having a diff issue in mine for a while now but had no idea how to determine which diff it was. thanks to you I've discovered it's the front diff. also the part number is a big help because whenever I look the diff up it just says nitro now as the v2 is out. thank you so much for the info, been a fan of your channel for a while now and these detailed reviews and tips make me keep coming back. thanks again!

🤗This man is my RC Hero. He helps me with every problem I ever have on my RC E Revo.😅Cause lord knows I am kinda hard on mine so everything breaks but I replaced 90% of all the plastic with aluminium and metal pieces now so I can take on a tree (not on purpose but sometimes I don't gauge my turning radius at 65 mph very well😅) and still drive away unscathed 😁 😎👍

Hi, nice and clear tutorial how to fix a diff. Good Job!

Thank you!!! You helped me thru changing my car’s diff!! God Bless!!

You’re a legend for recording this - thanks !

Thanks for the video. Big help on doing this the first time.

Nice build build video my friend, learnt alot, thanks for sharing 👍😊👍

*thank you* my E-revo 2 was making that same noise and I couldn't figure out what it was. I thought it was the drive cup occasionally catching the a arm. after further inspection of the rear diff that was definitely the issue

Your video helped me a lot. Great video. Thank you! 👏 RC for life!

This is probably the same process in the E-Revo VXL 1/16. Owned mine for exactly 1 week. As soon as I started using 2S NiHM batteries in Parallel, I stripped the plastic Servo gears (Part#2080) and later in the day on 1S, my Spur gear. The spur gear is plastic and the pinion was the one that came with the car ready to run. I took mine apart and swapped the stock pinion to the 23T pinion that is rated for the 2S battery that came with everything that is said to give me up to 50mph... Something else will break next...most likely in the transmission lol. Parts are rather cheap and easy to replace with some guidance. Your video helped prepare me for the day my Diff decides to go. Once it goes before moving into LiPo; I will know with the new parts I'll get metal to eventually have a total upgraded car 😂

Well done!!

Wd-40 is a water displacement , that's what the WD stands for.

Good info thx for sharing

Excellent video thanks a bunch

Thanks helped with annoying clicking and no drive in back wheels

THANKS so much man you do a good job!

Great video.....golf clap? Golf clap 👏👏👏👏👏. Same here , it was on revo 2.0..mine breaks enuf ive named it revo 5.0 and put rc4wd 5.0 emblems on it. Chevy guy so makes sense. But awesome info man. And just subscribed

helped me out good video

Wow bro mine just broke like last week. THX.

awesome video thank you!!

So you know, this video is really good and really, really well done. This is one of the best how to rc video's I've seen because of how clear and accurate you are! You really should do more of these because they're going to help a lot of people of you do. There isn't enough quality rc how to video's. At least not that I can find. I think if you make more it will help your channel grow! Good job bro!

Really awesome video, and super helpful. Only thing is that it's ok to spray NORMAL wd40 on your bearings as it's a lubricant. There is a wd40 specialist degreaser that you can get, however it's fine to spray standard wd40 on your bearings.

Thanks mate it's useful

I also prefer to use metal drive shafts. To make the diffs stronger I'm trying different bearings for the diff pinion as I'm afraid the stock one can wear out fairly quickly as they are pretty small for all the force going on them. I'm trying ceramic bearings, for now they hold up. I also changed the diff external case as after three years it was a bit worn :) The ERevo is a great car, I love it. Enjoy!

I stopped playing with my Revo years ago because I couldn't keep diffs in it. They would go to shit after just a few minutes or seconds of running. After replacing them for the 25th time only to have the brand new diff strip within 20 seconds, I packed the Revo away. That was like 4 years ago. Now the V2 Revo finally has properly sized diffs, but it isn't an inexpensive process to convert.

Thank you

I have two 5608 erevo...yeah im very versed in difs. make sure you sim that diff. the machined gear might be better but for 40 bucks im not ready yet. my daughter runs 4s i run 6s on mine. the boy runs 8s on his xmaxx...busy busy..

I would upgrade the diff carrier and outer casing to metal because plastic flexes to much under all of the torque. I just blew out a ball bearing which destroyed all of the gears.

hi is the same front and rear differential? thank you

For the Arrma Kraton 8S, it takes less than 2 minutes to get the diff apart.

Nice vid bro!! SUbbed to ya!

👏👏👏👏

I would be crying if my rc needs a repair like this😥 I'm lost.

Thank you so much for the video! I'm new to RC cars and bought a used one with this problem. Your video helped a ton. I found a differential gear on Amazon that was made of machined steel rather than whatever the stock one is (maybe cast iron?). It's more expensive, so I hope it doesn't break on me or lasts longer. Do you know if machined steel is better for this component rather than the stock part?

Out of the 4 witch would you choose Traxxas rustler 4x4 Traxxas E-Revo 1/16 scale or arrma big rock or arrma granite I'm on the fence about which one to buy today an keep in mind I'm not going to be easy on the one I pick either. When in doubt throttle out.

Great videos brother... but one question... in the manual it says 5379R/5379X whats the different between them man?

On the gear that fits into the case, some guys will use a shim washer so they mesh just a little more but not too much. And the gear will last longer.

What diff oil weight you use? Great video!

Do you know the part number for the steel driveshafts front & rear and center?

I use the blue lock tight stick so I don't drip any where it don't need to be

Just got mine 2 days ago, first day the slipper was so loose i destroyed it and melted the spur gear. Luckily i had a rebuild kit from my revo parts lot i bought. Now today i took it out and it killed the pinion bearing 😒time to rebuild

Hallo from sweden Where have you got your protection for the traxxas vxl 6s Benny

my rustler had tons of drag so I had to fix it or else the motor would overheat… Then something told me to just run it again and all the drag was gone...most of it anyway...do you have any idea of what happened?

what weight diff fluid do you use?

What weight diff fluid did U used in a E revo brushless v1?

I have v1 obviously. And is there. Stronger diff than stock?

Duidelijke video, deze auto is exact zelfde als onze auto. 5379x is dat zelfde als TRX-8679? Ik kan geen exploded tekening vinden van de V1 en heb 8679 uit de e revo 2.0 vxl exploded tekening.

Do you have a or know of a video like this for the front?

Awesome video! Rebuilding mine right now. Long live the v1!! Weird the 5329x kit came with something called a “diff retainer”. Did you use that at all? I did not and no idea where it goes!!!

is this the 1/16 scale e revo?

Comes right on out 30 hours later LOL no way

What do I do if the bearing inside exploded and the outer ring of the bearing will not come out

My dad has the 2.0... he needs To change his diffs

well noo room fer much grease on that main gear heck this china rig SCT has a square box around gear it has a smear of nasty grease i crammed it half full with some hopefully its will stay lube-dd

are u running 6s?

I don't own a revo, but that thing looks like a pain to work on.

i did this to the mini e revo, but it broke very soon after again didn't shim anything

It's called a drive shaft pin

Hello Outsourced ! Happy to join you channel ! I have a ERBE, and been watching videos of the V2.0, and I have Question for you : do you feel the old ERBE was a better balanced RC than the V2.0 ? Cause watching many videos, it often looks like V2.0 is out of balance and much less agile than the ERBE. What is your comparison/appreciation of both RC ? Thank you for your time doing all those Vids. Take care.

Where'd u order the diffs

Your chasing your tail. Their is a design flaw in the pinion bearing! The pinion creates a lot of Axial load on the bearing, the style of bearing traxxas used is for Radial load so the ring and pinion stripping is actually a secondary effect of the pinion bearing slowly dying causing your clearance between the 2 to open up and here you have it.

You don’t have snow yet!!!!!!

I have a 2.0 i cant get the cups off

the car sounds wierd...something is squeaky in there ;o]

Part number?

I prefer axles....its easier to repair.

Get a pin for the MIP drive shafts then you won't have them stupid grub screws why don't they have thread lock on them

Shim that diff and you'll almost never have to change them again on stock power system

All that just for a diff change.nooo way. Thats bull

loosen your slipper clutch lmao

Your gear mesh is way too tight.

Zero lube

First

speak up ? why is the volume so so low ????
