Great video, very professional install. I’ve never heard of using threadlocker to help slide on a bearing. Actually I’ve had bearings seize because threadlocker got into the bearing. This diff looks bulletproof!
Great Video you know I use fast eddy bearings too funny thing is they are no different from stock they are just chinese bearings in a nice package with a higher price tag! Yes we got took and I got took 4 times🤣🤣🤣. So with that said I take all my bearings apart ( remove the seal) blow out the grease and rinse with a degreaser the repack the bearings with team fast eddy grease and reinstall the seal! Tight n right!! 🤝⛽️⛽️⛽️🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼God bless my brother in Christ!
316 RC East Side RC Jeff he looked me up well brother. With the fly sky radio and the several other things he is a good person and loves the Lord and I know you do too.
Im confused .. rebuilt mine and it functiona fine pre post assembly. . But once in the car it will counter rotate half the rotation then just lock in.. stays locked until i make it happen..yet no leak no filings very odd 🙄
Quick answer is no but.... Rovan is know to be stingy on the diff fluid. They are easy to take apart and at least check before running. I would. If not you maybe re building the diff sooner than later.
please tell me, when you turn the differential shafts in different directions, do they spin smoothly without effort? I have a new differential and when I turn the axles in different directions, they resist a few degrees, then spin freely, as if they spin at some intervals
That’s interesting. My heavily used Rovan had its diff completely locked. I took it apart and put it back together. Smooth now. No idea why it was locked. No signs of excessive wear and no locking parts inside. You should rebuild it and see if you can make it smooth at all times.

Retaining compound!!!
👍🏻
This was a good video
Thank you for a very helpful vid.
Very satisfying to watch, I will be doing this for my new Rovan to replace that shit grease
Awesome vid!
I’m a brother in Christ with Jeff and I know you know him
The sweaty potatoe Meyer RC Yes sir🤜🏻🤛🏻

My Brothers in Christ! I love you fellas!! God bless you both!!
Damn, I forgot to use thread lock :(

Sounds odd. Should be able to rotate forward and backwards with no resistance. Check the rest of your drive train.
Is the alloy of the regular casing made of a light alimunium like metal as well, or is it a heavy steel like alloy?
4:34 were is the assembly Lube??
No assembly lube required on a sealed diff except for I usually put some oil on the O-rings. Silicone diff fluid fill @ 16:40.
Hi, is it necessary to change the diff oil straight out of the box. Just bought a rovan stealth and the lad in the shop advised to change it ?

@@michaelinzitari thank for your reply! have you used grease for bearings?
Great Vid! Does the internal diff gears from the km fit the hpi stock diff case?
Yes they do
How about the stock ones are they any good or do they fail sometimes?
I use my vise
The sweaty potatoe Meyer RC That works great 🔧 I thought about getting an arbor press from Harbor Fright 🤔
316 RC those work great as well.
one side of my rear wheels makes a clicking noise what do you think it could be ? my rovan only ran 20 hours
Sounds like a worn drive cup or bearing.
hope its not the dif and only a bearing
