Hey All,
I have upgraded my diff and put it back together the spider gears are smooth and no binding. But when i hold it and pull on hte cup joint it has quite a lot of play i have searched hi and low all over and emails HPI with now response back. Has anyone found just the big washer/shim 6X19X0.2MM 86827c? i am going to call HPI Tuesday to see if they can send me some..

I can't find those by themselves online. Did the new diff include a set? Ihave the 29/9 BP diffs in my Flux and there is some play in the outdrive cups. It's almost impossible to shim out all the slack. They don't have issues when I run my truck.

I just bought the ring and pinion and that didn't come with the washers. If i buy the whole aluminum diff cup it comes with the washers but i have a sweet flat black aluminum diff cup made by maximizer. They don't even make them any more and are very strong. But every time i go in to clean and over haul them the diff fliud would be gone so that washer also holds the O-Ring in place nice and tight. the washer is only 0.2MM thick so i hope it takes out some play also.

I am calling HPI firts thing in the mornng to see if they will ship me a couple so i can rebuild my diffs...

Just do the Vorza/Savage Diff mod and make a real BP diff... it eliminates the weak link, the 10mm bearing on the alloy cup. Plus you dont need that washer for the mod

I need to do this to my savage, it's the main reason I haven't driven it lately, I blew my front diff and I already replaced my rear diff but now I'm concerned because I don't remember if I used a flux diff or an X diff in the rear... I don't want to have two different gear ratios, although I don't know if they changed the ratios from savage to savage. I have an old savage 25 with a losi Mach 427 (teal head) so I basically blew up the rare diff on day one with the new engine lol

I used an old X diff so apparently I need an X SS diff.... Now if I do the Vorza setup can I do it to any diff or do I need matching diffs? Sorry I'm a noob on this stuff.
