It should only be making contact with the top one. Is that bottom sun gear pushed home properly? Evidently not. Ill try pull them home properly. I understand how they work now so Ill give it shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Think Ive sorted it. Filled it with 20k and Ill fit the diff when I can. Worst case I like the look of these https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/gpm-racing-4140-carbon-steel-with-7075-aluminium-front-and-rear-complete-differential-for-mini-maxx-trx10780-blue-1369038 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyC Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I assume those gpm diffs are still planetary? Just the bits you’ve bought with a metal housing? As apposed to the bevel gear Traxxas ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As apposed to the bevel gear Traxxas ones. Im sure I read “slash style” somewhere? So hoping they were bevel. If theyre not bevel Ill research the XL5/VXL diff properly. It just confuses me a bit with gear/centre shaft/slipper/centre diff compatibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 In a way i feel this is overkill however this may prove to be a model you use a lot so maybe worth modding and blinging it up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Added some bling, but the servo saver is a legit upgrade I feel Glad I went with Green instead of black. Also got an overkill servo in it now 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
