Hey guys hope you can help me with this problem. I dug my old RC10 T3 out of storage recently and did a complete resurrection. I cleaned and overhauled the whole truck including all new 9T EZ-Run BRushless sytem and 2S Lipo Batteries. Ever since I got it running I have been having nothing but problems with the Stealth Tranny. For some reason I can only run it for a couple minutes and the screw that holds the diff halfs together keeps coming loose. I tore the tranny down and rebuilt as per the instruction manual with all new grease for the diff balls and the thrusts bearings. I tighten the screw all the way down then back it off 1/8th of a turn. It turns smooth in my hand but one under a load it spins loose almost instantly. It is really frustrating as I spent alot of money putting it back together and I cant even run it. I am out of ideas on how to fix it at this point. ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you replace the diff nut? are you breaking in the diff and then retightening before running?

Mine did that too a while back. Just get a new diff nut like TBJ said. That should take care of it.

Yeah i replaced the diff nut twice now actually. The diff bolt has been broken twice just from running around on the street in front of my house. It is weird that I am having this many problems with it. Before the truck went into storage It had a fairly powerful brushed system in it and I abused the heck out of it with no problems. It seems like the problem got worse after I tore it down and put new grease in it.

Diff bolts don't break unless they're overtightened.

Yeah the broken diff bolts are definitely my fault. Will putting some loctite on the diff bolt help?
