Hello Relax1023. I've already completely torn down the diffs and compared to brand new parts. The diff cup is slightly worn, but even new diffs have some play in them. The internal gears are all nice and snug. I had a blown bearing on the diff cup side, and that has been replaced along with all the other bearings supporting the diffs and axles. The truck is back up and running at 100%.
Your not going to believe this. I have spent alot of $$$ in just diff oil.. using the recommended oil works.. After 5 different types of diff fluid.. I have found 1... that cures torque steer.. ( from o-full throttle side ways slide ) .. 100k fluid.. if while off road.. from a stand still.. ya floor it.. and it. tends to turn or slide out from the rear and ya have to correct the movement by adjusting your steering while vehicle is in motion to maintain a straight line.. Clean out rear diff well.. and replace with.. 100k diff fluid.. Its nearly like using clear maple syrup.. But.. The difference.. and control.. is unbelievable .. It launches straight and pulls hard.. The front diff is run 60k fluid.. If I had enough fluid left.. I would send it to free.. to try.. Its not expensive.. $6.59 At tower hobbies.. Same fluid Traxxus uses.. This heavy fluid gives the diff a posi effect but yet enough give to turn properly with would the solid axel effect..
