Really appreciate wrenching videos like this. It is such an asset to people in the hobby and may be there first model. I'm sure it can be fiqured out but I always find it speeds up the process and helps out big time! I just felt a little tiny oil under the axle that seeped down so im gonna break it down and assess it. Maybe just need a little gasket sealer. Hate to have to wait on new gaskets as I've been dying to run it! Thanks again
Good point - It was mostly dry in there. A little extra grease would not have hurt. I have a big tub of wheel bearing grease I normally use on ring and pinion gears. Something I have leftover from 1:1 work.
The spikey things threw me for a loop when I first took mine apart. Took me a while to figure out how to align them so I could get the diff back together.
Once again, a very helpful video. What kind of grease can be used on this? Is there like a grease specifically for RC use or any kind of grease will do? I’ve messed with a lot of RC parts in the few months since I got into the hobby and looking at the gears and all the parts involved, really throws me off. Was thinking of replacing the front gear box with an aluminum housing, saw all the tiny parts that are in there and said never mind.
Ha! Yes, the differentials can be daunting at first. In general, there is a specific diff grease you would want to use. A quick search on a hobby website should show a LOT of options. Depending on what you are driving, and where, you can really tune how your vehicle drives with diff fluid changes. What vehicle are you working on?
Another great video learning allot from your channel man thanks ! I have a question maybe you can help i bought a used SRR it tracks strait when cruising but if i punch it it wants to pull left ? Do you think this could be helped with thicker diff fluid ? steering is all set pretty strait camber toe is pretty good ive never had this with any other rc before but this is my first solid rear truck i appreciate any help thanks
This is due to the solid axle and the power this truck has! Honestly, it has been a head-scratcher for me the whole time I owned it. I remembered when I first bought it...didn't seem to do that so much. BUT - I was also running it on 75% power setting. As soon as you click over to that 100% and nail it - it will do this. When I put a crazy big pinion in the truck, it made it so bad that it was undriveable! My theory: 1 - it is just standard with solid-axle vehicles and loose suspension 2 - it is exaggerated by the power this vehicle has
@@RoadsideRC so far haven't come across gearing issues. I'm sure I will in the near future LOL 😂. I know the feeling brother... Just like any other Rigs, gearing issues is a BITCH!! But why do we do what we do? LOL 😂. All for the LOVE of the Hobby. #RC4Life
I have a question roadside rc : now in the back rear housing the pinion in the plastic that goes on the gear .Do you have to get 2 separate parts or can I buy the rear driveshaft an comes with back pinion to put the gear ?
Roadside RC : yes I actually did the rear driveshaft trying to get the pin out . I upgraded the part and was trying to put on all medal cover case from GMP coving case sucks lol
I’m new to the hobbie lol do I’m guessing I should but the rear drive shaft in back buck don’t know if it has that pinion in it where the black plastic peace is idk I may have to but actually two peace’s idk 😕
@@vinnie8857 The gear does come off. When you remove the driveshaft, and look down the shaft, you will see the screw that holds it. Take some time and really study the different diagrams in the manual.
@@Bro_wdf_you_doing Hmm. I had something similar one time with mine. I went through all of the work to take the center diff out. I re-assembled the whole thing and then it was fine. Kind of unusual.

Thanks!
A little Permatex Black gasket maker should work great!
Nice one, nice to know that it holds the dirt and dust out, was spotless in there 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks great video
Good point! It was very clean in there, and we have put this through all sorts of stuff!
Thanks for the video i wanted to see how to put the ear plugs in.. i am gonna put some in the hammer rey diff 👍
How many did you use?
It doesn't take very many. Just squish them in until it is almost full.
Great video lots of information with excellent visuals everyone doing videos should take a page of this guys lesson book
,again excellent video
Thank you very much! Great compliment!
What a great maintenance ~!!👍👍👍
Thank you!
Marine grease inside ur axle housing helps, I use it on my UDR axle

Exactly! I was worried about getting them to align back up also! I guess I did it right...
Great tutorial man, very informative. 👍

Kind of ingenious to use those silicone ear plugs to lock the diff.
Thank you!
Great how to video good to see the gears and what to expect if mine goes down
Great - glad it was helpful!
Awesome video my brotha great info thanks for sharing happy bashing bro👍😎🙈🙉🙊👊✌
Thank you! Keep in touch!
Whoa! Those some serious beefy inner gears.
Yeah - I agree. Dont think I will have many diff problems from this truck.
Means a lot to you and I as Yeti XL owners!

How did it run after locking the rear diff ?
I'm happy with it. Keeps better traction when crawling/trailing!
I have a question roadside rc : now in the back rear housing the pinion in the plastic that goes on the gear .Do you have to get 2 separate parts or can I buy the rear driveshaft an comes with back pinion to put the gear ?
I would have to double-Check the exploded diagram, but I am pretty sure those are two separate parts.
Did you strip one?

Roadside RC : okay thank you roadside rc
I see they put the plastic driveshaftes in with the plastic 1. It weak an will break soon.
The driveshafts on this truck actually ended up being really strong. I never broke one!
just 10 mins ago I think my rear diff gave out front tires spinning rear is not....
Either that or the center diff.
Does the rear driveshaft spin? Output from transmission?
@@RoadsideRC when I spin the rear the driveshaft turns... think it's center diff? That was quick I've ran it 5 times had it for 6 days 😩
@@RoadsideRC do u have a link for the diff... Im. having no luck finding it 🙏🏾
