Why you should check your diffs

[f1n3sse]

Well I was putting on the new flm shock towers and figured why id had the bulk apart id check out my diffs, rear was great, dropped the front plastic bumper and saw fluid, all 4 screws that hold the ring gear onto the diff cup backed out and all my fluid leaked out! refill, nitro clean the screws, thread lock, and put back together. check your diffs. if you have X bulks it takes about 2 minutes to get to your diffs

over a month of running they will leak out anyways the orings on them stink. I do mine once a month on average

on the ring gear is just a gasket, do you think it might be beneficial to just put a small bead of rtv where the gear contacts the cup for a better seal?

O open mine to often. the leaks I see come out the cup holes. I have Kevlar gaskets on my rings

I go through my race truck after every race or at least once a month if all I have time to do is run practice laps. Actually to keep the ring gears on in my race truck since I have seen a few back off I started to use a drop of red locktite to ensure they don't come off. I replace screws pry twice a year because of the strain put on the head breaking the locktite though.

I'm +1 with bank, i don't think you'd see much benefit doing this, your gonna lose your diff oil out the cup shaft ne way.

i agree with these guys, once a month or definately after a gallon of fuel.

I have to agree with Justin. Usually I tend to find them leaking from the cup holes. The O-Rings do a short job of sealing well enought.
