namastebuzz Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 So, the Kraton V3 has survived continual abuse for 2yrs with only a couple of diff/gearbox housings, shock rod ends and ripped tyres to its name. At the end of a run last week, it lost some power to the rear. Rear diff - I assumed. Fitted new diff internals and reassembled it although the existing ones had minimal wear and no obvious damage. Quick test in the driveway. All good. Only issue was one of the 4 screws holding the diff back together wouldn't tighten. (Have a new cup ordered). Out yesterday with all the cars. It ran fine for a while then same problem again. Lack of much rear drive. Guess it's a heat issue as works initially but goes off? Centre diff? The centre has an alloy mount BTW. Anyway, at work today so no chance to investigate. Any thoughts to get me started? Sent from my MIX2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Best check everything south of the centre diff brother check shaft pins,hub bearings could be toasted etc rear dogbones and cups for wear ,does the rear diff spin freely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namastebuzz Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Thanks Bajadre. Rear diff is smooth and hub bearings are good. I'll check the rest when I can get to it. Sent from my MIX2 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
