Hey guys! i was just fixing up my MT2. The rear left (if sitting in vehicle hehe) diff cup is what broke. When i put the new one back on, and the dog bone shaft deal back in there, i noticed the shaft was quite loose, and it binds somewhat. BAD NEWS I KNOW! is there a bushing that goes in the cup at the diff? or a spacer to make the drive shaft tight? Thanks!

i use about 3mm of fuel line to save the shaft rattling about - just stick it in the diff cup before u put the shaft in. a little bit of grease holds the fuel line in place if it starts to mess u about...
set ur suspension so the shafts are as level as possible to minimise diff cup breakages
hope that helps

i was also thinking i would place 3mm-4mm pieces if fuel tube on the steel shock rod to minimize the flow of the suspension, maybe that will help. I love this little truck tho! runs great and is fast. Thanks guys!

that works but to minimize travel extension, place the fuel tubing on the inside of the shock between the valve and the seal.. limits length of travel which has greatly increased the life of athe driveshafts and diff cups.
