Another Nitro Evader Prob.
 

I have another question...I was replacing my diff gear with a alum. one and when i put every thing back together when i spin my spur nothing happens and when i spin my wheels nothing happens i have tryed adjusting everything i can...Could it be my bearings on my Top shaft(the one that holds the spur and stuff...
Any Suggestions Appreciated...

it still seems like the bearings...i dont really know much about bearings is it at all possible it is bearings?(the ones on the top shaft)??

your talkin about the diff right? put some more grease in there, its not enough so the gears are binding up a bit

RE: Another Nitro Evader Prob.
 

It sounds like you just assembled it wrong take apart the diff and reassemble it and adjust it to the manuals specs.

how much grease should be in there? i didnt put a lot...i did unassemble it and then reassemble it...do you dont think its the bearings??

RE: Another Nitro Evader Prob.
 

you don't put a lot in.
all you have to do is tighten up the diff a bit. no biggie.

The bearings in there won't go bad very easy as it is very greasy in there.

I put a lot more greased in there and now it works fine...i tried to adjust and tighten the diff that didnt work but i solved the problem with more grease now just cant wait to run it...

RE: Another Nitro Evader Prob.
 

ok i still dont know if it is right i just dont think i know how to adjust it i know when you turn the wheel the opposite one should turn the other way...but it doesnt i tried loosening it and then it wont spin at all...i tried tightening it and it wont turn the other way...what is the problem...when i turn the spur both the wheels spin...What should i do to adjust?
Thanks for any suggestions,

Sounds like your diff is probably rebuilt incorrectly.

Here's a link on how to rebuild a ball diff:
http://www.balakracing.com/diffmaintenance.htm

It doesn't tell you what parts go where, but it does give a nice step by step plan on how to do it. The manuals show what part goes where, but i'm not sure if the orientation of the parts is critical (which way they face).

I haven't rebuilt my diff yet, but i plan to do it soon, so i have been looking into it.

its not my diff rebuilt wrong bc i have rebuilt it like 5 times before...i kept melting the plastic ones...so i know how to do it i think its the bearings on the top shaft..

this reminds me of something a guy i know said once...
"what are you talking about my mechanic's no good? My car was there 3 times last week"
I'm not gonna say another word on the subject:)
