i cant afford the hardend ones. this hobby is costing me to much. im going to get this...is it the right one [link]http://www.jespares.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=179&products_id=1252[/link]
I agree with the others if you ring gear is bad the pinion is all so. I believe you said you where getting a LRP engine for Christmas? If you do not do everything correctly I assure you it will show you all the weak spots with that engine! All so keep in mind you still have the pot metal gears in the front. Sorry you are correct this hobby is a money pit big time.
Good Luck
Yes I agree. Interesting today - just pulled all the diffs apart for a regular check up and noticed that the hardened 13T pinion in the rear has two teeth blown off. The rest of the gear surfaces on it are fine, they are not worn - and the final gear is perfect. Thats really weird - I hadn't really noticed any weird sounds or anything...have you ever experienced this 46u?
Just going to put in a new one...I don't believe it is the shimming..as the final gear would be worn. Perhaps when the set screw came loose, the pinion became toast?
A few pages back I was talking about this problems I have had ever since putting in my OS TZ. In MANY gallons with my OS 15 CV-RX never had a problem but since putting in my TZ I cannot keep the diffs together. I just total replaced my rear differential everything brand new but the out put cups and got a couple of tanks before messing it up again. The only thing it messed up was the pinion gear like you are talking about but took off about 4 teeth. Joebaby35 was saying the only way he can keep his from stripping is to run the alloy diff housing as the plastic ones just flex too much. I am going to try this after the holidays.
