Nitroholic Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Easy enough job to do. Start by stripping the spur gear and brake assemblies. Remove the exhaust, rear top plate, pop out the upper pivot pins. Diff case off...open her up, sort hte diff...re-grease the gearbox gears and slap it back together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Not a hard job at all to do bud, getting it out is a 5 minute job, same for putting it back, and whatever it takes you to clean it up and change oils... Put your bolts back where they're meant to go in the parts you take off and it's really easy, that's the only problem I ever have, but getting the hang of it now, stripped and rebuilt enough of them Anyone done a you tube video on this job? TFE probably has. Edited March 7, 2014 by Oh How Original 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Sheep Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 stripped my diff down last week to replace the oil.. opened it up and it smelt like something had died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYPER-BOY Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Cheers guys, all done, watching tv whilst doing it and was easy enough.. Was quite dry in there so greased the gears up and re-filled the diff.. Hopefully will drive sweeter tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-:AD:-) Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I just redid mine, about 7k in there. yet to try. Im not a big fan of shock rebuilds but easyer on a 1/5 scale than smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I think I want something a bit thicker in mine, with the low torque from 23cc and side pipe combination, it doesn't lose traction enough. Shall get around to it eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall get around to it eventually are you planning on getting a bigbore kit any time soon or waiting to get a bigboy next year? I went from 23 to 28.5 with a bb kit, well worth the 45 squids. what you thinking on oil, 10k -20k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from 23 to 28.5 with a bb kit, well worth the 45 squids. what you thinking on oil, 10k -20k? I'm thinking about possibly getting a bigger head kit for the moment... Although saying that, I could put this engine in Baja #2 and buy myself something new for this Baja. Solves the problem of not being able to find an engine for the second one and solves my problem of wanting a bit more lower grunt. Oil wise I was thinking around 20/30.

ant b 4 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 i find changing oils ok it the cleaning out part,what do you clean them out with? ive gotto rebuild the losi shocks and the front diff tomorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I clean the diff out with petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I use WD40, some people use GT85. I generally spray a load of WD40 in, give it a good rough going over with a paint brush then straight into the shower on the fastest setting... Cleans it all right out. For the shocks, I just put a touch of the new oil I'm going to use in, pump it a bit, let it drain out and that's it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Some sound advice here, gotta check the diff on my newly aquired 5b Ian says it's leaking (who I bought it off) so I'd better get it sorted before it runs dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really as simple as that? So no need to remove rear sway bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
