mattytheking1 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 the other day i was out bashing with my baja 5b, and it would not drive when i put some power down. i thought it was the clutch or something in them lines. so i got home, dint touch it cause i could not be bothered taking it all apart, but today i did. so i have found my diff just destroyed so, i am here wanting to know what i can do, i could order a full gear box with alloy case and a heavy duty diff from integy for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Not used the integy so I can't comment on that but I am sure you will get a reaction from some who has never used it before soon enough. What I do know is that these diffs are as good as the genuine ones and are cheaper so I would say go for this:- http://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/product/Complete-Alloy-Diff-Gear-Set.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well good on you that you have never used integy products. How did you get on with your integy diff then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockie Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 And there it is. I have used them as my initial Baja was a ShengQi and looking for upgrades for it went with integy so I do know what am talking about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattytheking1 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 What ever you do stay clear of integy products. cheers for getting back to me, yeah i was just thinking about just getting the diff but i was going to get a alloy case for it sometime down the line and this has gave me the chance to just get a hole new gear box, the link i added to this post on here of the diff would that one be awright?

Rockie Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 How did you get on with your integy diff then? Got the diff and the diff case from them, all I can say is I have an entirely new rear end for the Baja after it exploded with case and my 2 speed.

Nitroholic Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've run both HPI and KM diffs ... both with alloy cases. I've had the HPI a lot longer, and it's been rock solid. The KM one seems OK so far, but if it comes ready built...open it up....bin the oil.;..and replace with some good quality silicon diff oil. Whatever they put in there....it didn't look nice at all! That may well be the reason your Rovan diff crumbled. Poor quality diff oil and not enough of it. In your position, I would buy a genuine HPI diff from a US chop shop, as I have hammered mine for close on 2 years and it's as good today as it ever was despite being repeatedly donutted until the foams exploded on more then one occasion. I haven't used any largescale Integy stuff, but most of the stuff I have come across elsewhere has been horrid quality. The Savage rear tie-rod deletes are the only bits I have actually found to be good. I wouldn't use their diff though....as I want a diff I can fit and forget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I went with 10K silicon diff oil. The fill level is ( if I remember right ) is basically filling half the case up with the gears in...then dropping the top on. The HPI manual has the full pics/instructions. Download the SS manual from the HPI website...it's a seriously useful thing to have about the place. One thing to check though....if you are mixing gearboxes...I am sure I read somewhere that the HPI gears/gearbox were slightly different to the clone one..so check that out before buying a gearbox case like the TR one, as you may find you need to get a different gear set to go with it.
