Brett92 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Stage/Bag 1: contents - threadlock shock oil grease differential its a little fiddly to put together, small needle nose pliers were needed but not a problem, the outdrives are sealed between the diff by an o-ring and the diff seems to be for grease only, theres no gasket between the 2 pieces so im not sure if silicon oil would stay in without leaking or not mucky mucky grease! and the finished product apologies for poor camera quality now for a cuppa and the next part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATZY Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 im with ya bud, cant wait to see the finished article. i love scts and am hopin to be able to get a nitro sct after the weekend. i dont think you could put sillicone in them diffs without a gasket of some kind but it depends how tight the seal is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadMeatUK Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 If the output cups are sealed well enough will the Orings then you could use some instant gasket for the end plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett92 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 i was thinking about using gasket sealant to be fair, on old british engines ive just used gasket sealant and cotton wool to seal the side casings and works a treat, but im gonna stick to the grease for now, maybe chuck some moly grease in after i built the lot if i can dig some out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom C Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looks good I've got the desert buggy of this, I to am really impressed with how well they handle! Just wish they were a bit stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett92 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looks good I've got the desert buggy of this, I to am really impressed with how well they handle! Just wish they were a bit stronger. thats why i bought the sct, more protection from the bumpers and huuuuuge shell, i think im gonna be a bit conservative with this to be honest rather than just thrashing it... it looks like their plastic will take well to super glue though, so u never know.. will just see how things go with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATZY Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 from my experience with my 1:16ths from turnigy, build quality is pretty good (apart from where they skimp in the wrong places) and plstics are not the weakest out there. aslong as they didnt skimp out on important parts like dog cups and hinge pin brackets, you should be ok if you dont push it too hard. when i take my sct out, i have to keep reminding myself that its a turnigy and wont take much to break it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett92 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 ah i know what u mean, these are a decent size though and plastic doesnt seem bad at all, could do with a bit more flex in it, but not moaning for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
