Kyosho Lazer ZX-5 Diff rebuild question
Ok so I blew out the rear diff on the ZX-5. I am going to be rebuilding it, but have a question.
How the heck do you get the balls of thrust bearing to stay where they are supposed to when you put them in the drive cup part.
It comes with two flat washer and 8 diff balls. Its a major pain in the butt to get them to stay put. Any suggestions?

put a thick layer of grease on the washer, and plop the balls on top, and squish 'em in with the other washer... wipe off the excess, and put it all together...

You NEED to get [link=http://bfastrc.com/index.html]THIS[/link]. The diff rings will make the biggest performance increase in steering and handling. When you get the pro drivers kit, the diff will also last alot longer and be alot smoother than with stock. And the thrust bearings are caged so you dont have to try to get them all even.
