G'day to all out there in 1/5 RC world, it's a great world to be in.
My current issue, apart form my Carson Comanche being in bits on my pool table, is how do I get my diff back together correctly. I don't seem to be able to get all the gears back in. Is there a knack to it, tongue out with tip up to the right? Do all the gears have to go back in together? A link to some instructions would be great or just explain it to me. I've been trying all day in between V8 supercars and on the net looking for info.
Cheers, cuemando.

RE: Diff rebuild
Thanks to victory-rc, I didn't think I'd hear from you again. Some cat people can be a bit protective.
The baja diff is a lot better design than the FG clones and seems easy to assemble and a lot tougher. Dunno about the FG monster trucks, I guess they are the same. I have a cd with FG stuff on it but haven't found it yet.
Thanks also to pwaicon, I knew how it should've gone together but just can't get it to go together.
Special thanks to Lars, it seems that all the gears have to go in together. It'll be a bit tricky with the shims as all together i have 9 to worry about. 5 large and 4 small. I'll just have to figure out which end needs 3 large ones. The smalls are easy as they hadn't fallen out, 2 each side.
Oh well, it's back to the workshop/pool table and keep your fingers crossed for me.
Cheers all.

RE: Diff rebuild
Ok, update time.
I've got the diff back together. Fluked it in a way. If I put the gears and shims with the pin that goes all the way through in together, then put the drive gears in together, one from one side, the other from the other side, they go in easy, then slip the shims in and line them up with the shafts, hey presto, all together........but, the hole lot sounds clicky? if you know what i mean. I have left one shim out so there are two shims on each gear. I'll grease it, put it all back together and see what it's like after a bit of a run.
