Default RE: Nitro or 8e series Diff units Breaking Teeth off Ring Gear???


ORIGINAL: sdnitro

I agree i have posted on this exact subject before. I have a earthquake 3.5 and have trashed my original diffs. I agree i was way too hard on

them driving on hard pavement and turning with the front wheels off of the ground. I didn't even expect redcat to warrenty the parts. I ordered

"factory replacement parts", ya right. I have both sets of gears and the originals are way better quality. I am now on my third set and I am afraid

to run the truck because i know they won't last 2 tanks nowmatter how I drive. The replacement diffs just plain suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT Oh well lipos are charging...... talked to Kurt@Urchobby last night and he said I may need to take some punch out of the truck with the programmer so it will save the gears..I may do this but it is so cool to see it "**** and get" off the line, but it must be too hard on the gears and Redcat said the only replacement gears they have are the ones I ordered. We will see
