 |
|
Hey guys,
I recently bought a new CRT.5 and I noticed that all of the diffs look like they are leaking diff fluid. So my plan was to take apart and refill (rebuild) the diffs. So far I have only worked on the center diff. Once I get it back together and filled up with diff oil, when I tighten the spur gear back down (4X Phillips heads) the diff locks up. The thing I don’t understand is if I can’t tighten up the diff enough to seal it up it’s going to continue to leak. However, if I tighten up too much it locks up the center diff. Any thoughts or help would be great.
This is my first experience with 1/8 scale style oil filled diffs. I have only ever run ball style diffs.
Thanks
Mike |

The diff should not lock up when tightening the spur gear. Check that the pin underthe bevel gear is installed properly, and the cross-pins are installed notch to notch.
Hope this helps |

Hi David thanks for the quick reply. I thought it should tighten up OK with out binding since it's a filled oil system.
I did make sure the notches are laying on top of each other. I am starting think its the O-ring (40009) in the diff case to seal the outdrive (40808). I can't seem to get the outdrive in and the O-Ring seated correctly any thoughts? The O-Ring wants to keep popping out of place.
Thanks
