Stomper90 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I havnt taken my buggy apart completely yet. However, I did take out the centre diff as it was leaking. It now appears fine once I tightened things up. However, left me with a few questions. 1. What wt diff oil for centre 2. Do the front and rear boxes seal and if so what oil goes in? 3. Is there an easier way of removing centre diff other than removing the screws from the chassis? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'd go with something like 50k in middle, the whole lot was designed for brushless so I dont think 100k like you might put in a conversion is needed. I haven't stripped the front or rear yet, there will be sealed diffs inside, like the centre, then if it's sealed i'd grease the outer gear. That's how I remove the centre diff.

tomr Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks bud The quality of these hong nor's is fantastic especially for the price of them.When you compare them side by side to the Hpi ,Hobao,Losi And Kyosho rtr equivalents the x3 is an absolute bargain .

I've not run mine, bought it to steal parts for the X1 Pro conversion I did (got a very cheap X1 roller) - however the mount fit but was useless as doesn't have enough adjustment for big pinions. The X3 is certainly a more modern design than my Hyper 7's - build wise i'd say there very similar. It's better then the Hyper SS for sure. When you need upgrades (other than stock, i can poss help with those ) then RC-willpower have cheap hop ups from the pro - cnc towers and chassis braces would be my first port of call for a basher.

tomr Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Thanks bud Do you have any spares for sale ? Cheap Edited May 1, 2015 by tomr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Thanks bud Do you have any spares for sale ? Cheap I've got most of the x3 left bar: shocks and standoffs servo mount/rx box battery tray electrics mud guards Wheels are supposedly sold but buyer (local) keeps letting me down otherwise I think everything else is there - It's all brand new - I never even span it up as the lhs we're happy knowing I was breaking it down would sort any warranty issues sensibly. I'd priced everything cheaper than anyone else (there's a guy breaks lx2e's and some parts are the same) - I just wanted to get the electric conversion parts for sensible money - as is haven't used them after all (X1 conversion thread here: http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/204577-hong-nor-x1-pro-brushless-conversion/ So pm me what you need/want and I'll help out if I can otherwise if I've the majority left much longer i've some spare Hyper Shocks that'll fit and a losi tray so bar electrics I could prob knock it out as a roller.
