My truck sat for quite a while with a broken front differential. I finally had time to fix it (stripped pinion) and took it out for a drive. I had 1/2 a battery pack through it, and the rear differential went south. I figured it was the pinion again, so I ordered 'HPI 102692 Bulletproof Machined Differential Bevel Gear Set', just like I did for the front. I may have ordered an extra set too... Anyway, I removed the rear differential only to find that the gears were not stripped, but the differential housing split open in 4 places. I think the screws may have come loose holding it together, and it eventually exploded.
I can't seem to find a complete differential to purchase. Can I just purchase a Hot Racing housing, and move my spyder gears over? What is the best plan of action?
By the way, this truck has only ever been running on 4s, and never sees blacktop, except the last 1/2 battery, which may explain why it tore up on me.
Thanks,
