Leaking front diff
I'm sure I put in to thin of silicon, so I'm not worried about that. I'll change it, but my q for you guys is why would it leak out of my front diff on my Revo. No cracks and no collisions. any ideas? Thx guys.

RE: Leaking front diff
You only want to fill the diff cup 2/3 - 3/4 of the way up. You need to allow some air space for thermal expansion...otherwise it can rip the screw holes and cause your diff to leak.

RE: Leaking front diff
thanx for the feedback guys. i had never thought of 'thermal expansion' but it makes sense. i cleaned up everything. looked for cracks and the seal. everything looked ok, just thil silicon all over is all. oh well. we'll see wat happen on the next day of play.
