![RC "How To" Maintain/Clean/Change Transmission For 2WD RUSTLER SLASH STAMPEDE BANDIT [2]](/img/n.gif)
This video is for a transmission upgrade. These gentleman take their time to show any & all some things that may help. If you don’t like their approach to the upgrade, if you don’t like their physical aspects, if you don’t like their anything...MAKE YOUR OWN PERFECT VIDEO AND SHOW THE WORLD JUST HOW GREAT YOU ARE!!!!!
Thank you Roger & Adam for your time, knowledge sharing & suggestions/advice. Please ignore the the negative & off the topic comments. 🤘🏻
Thanks a bunch for you support! I want to say we try ignore all the negative comments, but I swear, one day I will type in few comments Roger makes in return....its similar to when Jimmy Carr is calling out a heckler :) LOL
We have been in business for over 15 years and I should admit that probably 99% of all folks out there are pretty cool...and we can totally live with the rest 1%.
Thanks again for being with us and your support!
RC Street Shop No problem...My pleasure! 🤘🏻
I like these guys, no problem for me but... when you put yourself out there doing vid3os or whatever for the consumption of general public at large you open yourself up to criticism, and unfortunately it seems like as time goes on we find the % of losers with no manners or poor manners on purpose grows.
Likewise we are free to berate them.
On a side note I had to stop watching their videos with my kids, they are getting smart enough to catch and understand the sexual innuendos. Again, free speech so I’m ok with that...unless you want to stop that would work too!
Gentleman is singular, gentleMEN is plural.
You just got edified by a norwegian, YOU`RE welcome..
Kids shouldn`t be online, the internet is a terrible place.
And when they understand innuendo`s, they`re old enough to watch it, you should be open about that stuff and not have it be secret or forbidden, it will save them a lot of frustration and lying as time goes by ;)
Same goes for cursing, if it`s forbidden and demonized, it will be attractive and seducing, like with smoking etc..
Unless you want them to keep everything from you as they grow up lol..
just sayin`..
Some uncomfortable conversations are worth having :)
I should admit its so fun to read comments section, thanks for support and feedback everybody!
RC Street Shop u
I had a question about Traxxas LiPo 2s battery, when done charging are they supposed to be luke warm like Nickel metal ones cause mine isn’t when done charging
Is your shop in canada and if i brought a traxxas slash cpuld you upgrade it? Im new to rc vehicles and im not too great at taking them apart/putting them back togerther.
And is it possible for me to ship my truck to your store from canada to be upgraded?
@@harrychattaway629 sorry for late response, we must have missed your comment. We're in Long Beach, California. We absolutely may service your truck etc, but it is going to cost you a fortune to ship all the way from Canada
mouth breathing for the win!
🤣 💣 ✔
Ur an asshole. But funny. Yes, very very funny. . ...asshole.
Lmfao Bruh!!!!!
lol
Mouth cam 😂
Thank you for all of the time y’all put into this to make quality videos that are easy to learn from keep up the good work👍🏼
Thanks Jack, we're always happy to help!
@@Rcstreetshop what gears did you use because I bought the hot racing differential housing and the traxxas differential gears and it locks up the gears are like to small or the center drive peice is to close together and the top gears slide onto the bottom gear and it locks it up so A u need to machine a custom spacer or B it's not machined right.
Thanks for the video, just got a Big Foot July 2019. This is interesting, I do not bash my truck. Really like the information for the future. Thanks and makes things less intimidating. Just got into this RC truck thing at 75 and doing just a few things at a time.
Thanks, we always happy to help!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just purchased an entire bearing kit for my rustler. I did the tires this yesterday. I have yet to do the transmission bearings. This was extremely helpful. I may also just go ahead & replace the diff with the sealed version while I'm at it, don't want to have to open it again lol. This ia the part of my traxxas that scares me a tad 😄 I'm ok playing with the pinion & spur, that's cake..... But those loads of tiny pins inside that box, well.... I call that box 'Pandora' 😂
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and share with your experience. Good luck and have FUN!
I appreciate the info with the upgraded parts and even the cleaner. A few things though...I notice no blue loctite when screwing metal to metal. Also, I did not see any grease inside the gearbox, only inside the hot-racing diff??? Lastly, I did not find carbon fiber pads for the rustler from hot-racing. Are you using a version meant for a different vehicle? thanks!
Was thinking the same thing with the grease on the gears and blue loctite. Before i even read your comment. Great minds think alike... :)
See above for my opinion on grease. the diff uses silicone oil not grease. the oil is there to provide resistance not lubrication. You are correct about the Loc-tite. I meant to use it but completely forgot. I'm not sure how Hot Racing lists the carbon pads. TRX15GS is the part number. They refer to them as "graphite" pads. they work very well.
RC Street Shop what specific kind of traxxas grease did you use?
@@karlwilson1799 did u even read what he said. It takes silicone oil not grease.
Greeting my friend from Houston Texas ! I’m doing this to my 3s bandit
Explanation of what goes where especially those little washers.
That differential part of video was hard to see fast forwarded like that. Ill figure it out. I always take pictures of everything before I take apart
Just sayin ...if it was me I’d put a little time into learning to edit a video if I was putting out that many
I bought (FLM) FastLane Machine's Aluminum Transmission Case and (FLM) FastLane Machine's Aluminum Differential and have been running both for 3 years without a problem.
I added a Castle Creations' 1406 Sidewinder 3 4600Kv Motor/ESC Combo. Set the gearing at 21T Pinion gear and 76T Spur gear. Using a 3-Cell LiPO, this set-up drives my 2WD Slash at 50MPH on 2.8 inch JConcepts Rulux Wheels with JConcepts G-Loc Tires (G-Locs aren't supposed to balloon - My set-up proves that wrong, they do balloon!) (NOTE: The motor will need a motor heat sink for 85+ degree day )
my stock traxxas diff gears are shit ive broke them everytime i buy new ones within 3 mins of running im just gonna get a diff locker
Adjust your slipper clutch or you may start breaking other parts of transmission/drivetrain.
Idk if a trx is different by much or not from what you have but having a 4th channel and being able to switch from open to locked would be pretty cool in a rwd
Hated dealing with my real car's transmission and I hated dealing with my RC's transmission too. Lol.
LOL its time to upgrade
Oops, I apologise for not listening carefully, but I did catch the comments the second time!
Thanks for being diligent youtuber :)
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME MY SLASH IS MESSED UP AND I NEEDED THIS!!!!!
You're welcome and if you need parts just give us a call! 😉😉😉
Hahaha is there any nitro clean in the bathroom? No damn !🤣
List of products & part numbers in the description would be helpful. Otherwise thanks for the vid! :)

@@Humby559 but he meant like the links to the parts
xXDyxing_ _chromaXx so are you saying they should’ve gave him links because he’s too lazy to use Google?
@@Humby559 no you added extra words to the sentence hemphs that I was reiterating that he just wanted a direct link.
Is this diff going to be a lot stronger cause I keep braking my gears on the inside
Yes, it is much more durable.
Ya I just shredded my gears
Carter Donar what gears you shred, and what set you had in?
Its the same gears you take out the old differential
Recently got the VXL and can't enjoy it as much as I want too because it flips. What can i do to make it stop flipping. Got the stock motor in and if I should change it what's a good motor for the Rustler
There are a number of reasons. Generally speaking you have too much grip. Adjust your slipper clutch so that it gives a little bit under heavy acceleration. OR adjust the way you apply throttle.
You may also change gearing to slow down spool time which basically changes acceleration timing.
Or try different tires (with less grip).
i have a rustler too (on 3s lipo), theres nothing efficient you can do about your front wheels getting off the ground. But you can buy a wheelie bar which prevents your car from flipping over backwards. Its just like 15$
Get the ChuckworksRC mid motor Rustler chassis
Actually I think mip created the first 3 gear transmission if I'm not mistaken
Danny Walker you are correct. We ran the MIP transmissions long before associated came out with the stealth. Associated essentially stole MIP's design and refined it a bit to make it a little less blocky.
Ive had my slash for a year and ive only had to replace the rear skid plate just did that on sunday
Drive it more. Drive it harder.
lol man after about 700 hundred bucks my slash flies i beat the hell out of it and keeps coming back for more
I’ve had my Traxxas rustler for 2 years and just yesterday I replaced the motor! And the tires I did last month, they were bald and starting to rip through. It runs amazing now! I have a castle creations sidewinder 4 with a 4600kv motor in it
yep, it is one of the reasons why slash is so popular! Enjoy!
Sorry guys had to stop watching when Roger used driver as a hammer plus you got no Nitro Spray in the bathroom how unprofessional can it get!
I'm sorry for not using specialty tools
glad this showed up in my feed today. just converted my hopped up rustler to slash lcg chassis and lowered it for street bashing and maybe drags if I go to a sealed diff. this will be my next major upgrade for sure once I really want to get serious about a drag racing build.
Thank you for your feedback 👍
Is it possible to drill out the diff outputs to accept the set screw pins instead of the little grub screws on either side I recently got a used brushed stampede and with brushless upgrade and all metal drive train I bought metal drive shafts but they have the pin set screws and not the set screw on either side
thanks for the tip!
Does this work with the slash 2wd nitro??
No, nitro has different transmission.
@@Rcstreetshop do you know any transmission upgrade for nitro slash??
I snapped a top pin and used a small Allen wrench shaft for a pin and it's doing awesome now
The upgrade ideas are great and it's nice to have the option of getting/having those upgrades but you building the diff seemed sloopy. 500K diff oil is the thickest of the thick, put some in and let it settle. Lube the orings and check for proper seating too. I subscribed. GG.
Thanks for your critics and subscription!...a lot of stayed behind the camera, but next time we make something similar, we promise to show assembly basics as well!
Should atleast get rpm transmission. What a waste
Thanks for the tip, but we prefer Pro-Line over RPM transmission
Darth Vader on camera duty
I use an Ultrasonic cleaner and toothbrush if needed to clean parts. It works on small engine carburetors, why not an RC Trans. One thing I am learning quickly is there are no shortage of upgrades for any RC vehicle as long as you are willing to spend dollars.
I use diesel or kerosene cleaner to brush off then wash dish soap and raise hot water. If hurrying to dry use blow air compressor to dry. Just like v8 engines
What diff oil is good for a slash 2wd for normal running and racing on dirt
Start with 5K and see ow you like it. If you need lock up diff a bit more, then go with 10K, if less then 2K
Hi! I have f150 shortcourse fox clipless... Beauty sc, but transmission it wasnt good, the bell of friction it was curved!!!!! Out of box... Now i disassembly but it is used, what can i do ? Replace with new?
I'm so glad you did this video. it's everything I wanted to do to my slash before I knew what I wanted to do to my slash. Awesome sauce!
I just bought the traxxas bigfoot no1 and have a clicking in the transmission and tomarow will be day 4 June 4 2018 I have owned this rig what could it be bought brand new
Its could be that something got jammed into plastic spur gear and clicks every time it spins and hit metal pinion, or its could be that you idler gear got stripped...or differential. It is really hard to say over the internet.
i have a traxxas rustler this upgrade i will need for future and thanks for for the help and honest opinion
Thanks for the comment, have FUN there
Good to know information! I own 2 traxxas bandits. One from 2004 and one from 2024. Thanks alot.! Saving this video for when I am ready to attempt this.
Will the integy aluminum diff case good for this?? Thanks!!
Yes, it works OK
I just put wheel axle ball bearings on 1 yr old Rustler (60 2s lipo runs on dirt&grass) to replace the 8 bronze bushings. Steering was sloppy, now it's great! But when I was setting motor pinion mesh, I noticed a bit of radial play in the top shaft that the spur and slipper run on. Is that shaft that the slipper clutch is on in bearings or bushings from factory? I have 2 more 5x11x4 ballbearings, but I hate to break into the xmission mid season if this play is normal.
Hey guys. Love this vid. Very thorough. You mention the 1 flaw in the traxxas case is the built in a-arm mounts. I agree this is a fault, although the rpm 3 piece with 4 small nuts is tought to tighten without removing a bunch of stuff. I feel the main fault of the traxxas is actually the fact that it has to be sealed with a piece of tape. Whats up with that? Look forward to watching more videos of yours. I was surprised how clean the bearings you removed are for a rustler that was driven hard. Mine always seems to get gross. I have to change the bearings everytime i do anything. I buy them by the 100 lot. Be excellent to each other.
Hey Ryan, thanks for the feedback.
Party on dude! Station.
I really appreciate the videos you guys make. They've helped me SO MUCH! I don't like the few rude comments, but hey, haters gotta hate. Again, thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Upgrade the diff then put plastic axles on it
Less rotating mass/weight - > faster acceleration
I loved the proline 2wd trans... I ran mine for 3 years before sheering off the diff output. I bought diff outputs and fixed it but now I see their discontinued so eventually I will have to do this. Its sad because the arm holders are separate and cheap on the proline and so were internal parts so I could just buy arm holders instead of doing the whole trans thing over and over. And it makes 1/3 of the noise.. plus you can tell a speed and power difference instantly, along with the pulling to one side it had b4 being gone. I with there was more options.
When I need a new pin I cut an Allen wrench to fit and it is strong it doesn't need to be round it's the best way to repair.
Though a pack of traxxas pins works just as good, we always high 5 any DIY stuff!
Rodney Armstrong same
That's a wicked good idea.
Amazing mouth breather asmr!
I had to stop the video smh 😟

Nice video. However you said “ All traxxas 2weel drive this will work for. This does NOT work for A 2wheel traxxas NITRO!!!!
i have a traxxas son uva digger 30th anniversary that i put a brushless motor out of a axial yeti 1/10 and melted the trans case and stripped all my cogs so i have put a metal proline racing trans case on it will full metal cogs and steal axles with an integy full aluminium kit and run a 3s lip without any problems so far and have put new traxxas shocks and louise mt uphill tires
Hardcore!

thank you, after watching your video, just did this!
Just subbed I’m gonna be coming to your channel for everything for my RC car now nice video man.
Thank you, much appreciated 👍
Does the HR diff leak
No, it doesn't (if if was assembled correctly)
“We are gonna pop huuuuuuuhhhh huuhhhhhh these bearings huuuuhhhhhh huuhhhhh out”

Hahahahaha
Roger sounds like Seth Rogen. LOL
That explains a lot LOL
What diff fluid are you using
We usually recommend to start with 10K but it really depends
These videos are so good that I already know how to do this stuff and watched them before but I still find them interesting
Thank you much appreciated!
Honestly, this one of the most fun parts of the hobby for me.
Awesome info guys. Just curious what you guys think of the Proline transmission? Seems like you know a lot.
It is great, but it is possible to get the same (if not better) results for less. Plus if you break something parts are not interchangeable and you'll to buy pro-line.
im new to rc and i am learning a TON from you guys !!! thanks alot!!!
Thanks a bunch for your feedback! 😎👍
HEY MAN, BIG THANKYOU FOR THE VIDEO! I JUST REBUILT EVERYTHING BUT THE X-MISSION. NOW I CAN TACKLE THAT TOO!
You're welcome, thanks for the comment!
Awesome video guys, thanks for the tech. However your history is a bit skewed. The Losi LRM transmission came out before the Associated Stealth. And for all I know maybe someone else even had that design prior but it was Losi that mainstreamed it. ;)
Thanks for the info 👍
MIP had the first 3 gear IIRC. Was one of the first upgrades from the AE 6 gear. Was out well before the Losi LRM
@@keithjg1 If we're getting into the nitty gritty, Tamiya's Sand Scorcher has a 3 gear transmission. ;)
Hi guys, great video. can you list all the parts you use in this video. this way it's easier to get in my local hobby shop
Good call on the top gear/pin. I've had the same problem with my gear stripping and breaking that pin. I saved this video on my favorites. Thanks, for the part numbers. :)
What are your thoughts on the silicone ear plug method, I've seen that done a fair bit.
I was thinking of trying that on my HSP Wolverine BL, but I'd be interested in your opinion, Guys.
Thanks.
Roger, Adam, thank you. I've been lookin for a good video on how to maintain the diff on my slash for a WEEK. This is by far the best I've seen with in depth details shown instead of cut out. If y'all happen to see this please let me know if you've any maintenance vids on the 4x4 vxl Slash specifically, as I have both the 2wd and 4x4 and the 4x4 is certainly a bit more intimidating!
Unfortunately Your Aftermarket Replacement Parts we cannot run in a Stock 12 Turn Salvas Mud Boss Class.
I'm sorry but this upgrade is not more durable and the diff design was never intended to be sealed or tunable by anything other than grease. Yes it can be sealed and silicone diff oil helps but the poor gear design is not only 💩 but it is very weak. The hot racing diff housing is a waste of time and money. I tried it and the internal diff gears stripped in minutes. So quickly, I though my slipper backed off. I'll repurpose the hot racing diff housing into my nitro Rustler as it's not so powerful as the VXL system is and should hold up. The only reasonable solution is to go with the ProLine transmission with a normal type gear diff design. Contrary to what was said, the Traxxas 2wd diff gears are far too weak for a powerful system and mine isn't even crazy powerful.
Fire your camera man we don't need up-close macro shots of everything
So what are the part numbers for all of the items he used in this video? Also, is there anything to help explain how many teeth I should use depending on how high powered a brushless motor is so nothing is over heating and such? I’m looking for more torque but not over torque to the point that speed is low. I still have original parts in it and want to do a major speed upgrade in the slash 2wd 1-10. Kind of new to this but it’s ok cuz I’m learning. Great video by the way Roger is a funny guy. Also, to people who are commenting about his breathing being bad, piss off. That sort of thing tends to happen with bigger sized people. Y’all need to grow up.
Hey, thanks for your comment. He didn't actually used too much, just Hot Racing dif case (TE38CH) and Robinson Racing Idler Gear (7857).
With overheating the goal is not to over speed (too low on Spur and high on pinion) or speed up your motor without applying actual load on it.You should also take into consideration how you play/race, what kind of battery do you use and also tires and grip.
Traxxas 272R Magnum idler shaft is 1 piece and fits the standard 272 transmission.
I bought a used car that has a Hot Racing diff in it (?) don't know unless I take it apart.
The shaft that drives the slipper clutch is a double D with no hole in it for a drive pin.
Could this be a stock part or do you think it's aftermarket.
Hey bud I love it vids but ur health has me seriously conserved ur breathing is so bad and labored I here ur breathing more than ne thin vid plz for ur fans go to hospital n get checked out there is something seriously wrong if u jus setting there n jus basically breathing like u jus got walking few blocks or jus came in from cold that's not good please let me know bud if u get checked n I love ur jus torque the slipper clutch all way down lot more fun but throttle like ya said is lot more touchie
Love you guys, fat hands and all😐
Likewise 👍🏼
What weight diff fluid would you recommend for all around driving and hard packed dirt?
This dude needs to see a physician. He can barely speak without wheezing.

@@joeyjackson3117 yea i should. I think ill make a new acc tho this is a very old acc and wanna start fresh im working on a few things now like making a old proboat shockwave 36 electric and hoping to going 50mph on 6s also just ordered a new 4s hobbywing system for my stampede. Im thinking about picking up a slash vxl too!
Hey guys, thanks for the video, I saw James J question below, but I didn't see why you don't lube the sealed diff, idler, and top shaft gear teeth, do you put them in dry, or some sort of lube ?
Thanks for your comment. It is OK not to lube hardened gears, they very durable and wear resistant. In general metall gears require special lube which Roger didn't have on hand. Any other lube would actually slow the transmission down and add additional resistance for Motor/ESC.
Really appreciate the video! My son & I are going to tackle this project together!
I had to upgrade from the plastic driveshafts after snapped them in half, also the Bandit trans will also work in them
Why would you not just put a locker in the differential instead of a sealed 1 wheel peel differential? If you put a posi in it you don’t need to worry about it being greased or sealed
What a fiddly job that is. Would help if you didn’t have sausage fingers!! Thanks for the help 👍
Huh... they all come with slipper clutch now? Interesting. I remember upgrading my stampede in the late 90s with a slipper and it really helped make it not suck. I guess traxxas realized their stock setup was terrible.
They have slipper clutch on all electric 2wd now
9:28 not just that but when these vehicles take a hit, it's usually the weaker parts that break first and those are usually the cheapest to replace. Chose wisely which parts you want to upgrade.
Rpm case stripped two diffs in a year for me, whereas the stock case never did that, so right now im back downgrading back to the stock xD
Ive ran 6s lipos mod 1 pinion on my old traxxas magnum tranny i custom fitted to a ttphoenix for 2yrsgave it to my nephew for his birthday and its still going so you dont even need this upgrade,and if you look on TH-cam youll see other guys doing the same.
Thanks for the comment Edward.
Hey Guys. I want you to know that I I was gifted in 1992 and afterwards. It's actually quite a long story and I would like to send this to you to let you know I had come across your videos fixing tires on a Traxxas a vehicle with another video showing how to put the gear on to the motor and don't let it slip too much because it would overheat. I have learned quite a bit from the man with the red hair. About my gift? I've never met either one of you men but it's not too hard or difficult for me to pick up that the man with red hair is very knowledgable in these vehicles. No questions asked. I have an Emacs brushless truck and I have light pole three batteries running it. The plastic gears I have burnt most likely in around 20 of them because I am learning on my own and now that I know how to subscribe which I have subscribed to your channel and I know how to get to your videos, I would like to know if there's a way that I am supposed to tighten my tires on the back of my truck from wiggle in a little bit.? I have Botton many many many and too many parts from Traxxas. I would like to know if you tricks or tips as you will call them. I hope you can respond to me soon I'm going to be looking for more videos to come from you and ur little friend u have there.
Thanks for your time and have a blessed day. Jason.
What?
I think Traxxas may have put thicker grease in the newer 2WD transmissions. My Bandit, Slash and Rustler (all three are just under a year old) all seem to have very smooth yet somewhat stiff diff action like my Rustler 4x4 and Slash 4x4 VXL's.
You need to service differentials. Racers, service their diffs every race. For weekend racers we recommend to service diffs every 2-3 months.
@@Rcstreetshop They've been like that since new. Plus I have serviced the entire gear box on all of my cars. It was just something I observed. I remember when the Traxxas 2WD platforms were fairly new in the late 90's. I remember the diff action being looser on those older models.
Haha yeah my Transmission is dinked. Cars swerving a lot due to the crappy power output
Just upgraded my servo and brushless motor now only my left wheel spins what could it be
Are we able to do this to the nitro versions of the slash?
Couldnt really find a place to send. Thisquestion hopefully thisisok since its totally unrelated. Having alot of problems with the stock rustler esc. Any reasonably priced esc or esc combo recommendations?
Gove us a call and talk to one of your techs (not sales reps:)
Castle Creation Sidewinder is a good replacement/upgrade for Traxxas ECS/Motor, but we need to ask a few question first to better understand your goals, so give us a call when you have a moment and hopefully will be able to help.
Great video guys, I just subscribed to your channel. I 've done this exact upgrade/rebuild for my 2wd but my mamba monster still chewed some teeth off top gear. Will the Associated top gear you mentioned in video work as a replacement part for the Slash 2wd? If so which one? Thanks in advance for your help.
Did you try to play with slipper settings? with team associated you would need to change the whole assembly, but then again if slipper isn't set, then you will bust it
A locked rear diff is the best way to go idk if that’s what he’s referring too by sealed diff
But I just take the stoke gear and shove hot glue inside or jb weld or super glue just pack it and close it and that has lasted me 5 years with no problems 😂
And it drifts every were 👌
Locking up your diff will make your traction really bad, it needs to give at least a little bit. 2WD Slash doesn't have enough grip/torque to utilize high viscosity diff fluids, but you may try to put 50K to 300K and see how you like it.
Boy this is hard to watch. Like you are doing it for the first time. Get more organized when doing a video and maybe get a scissors.
Maybe a test run b4 shooting the video next time.
awesome vid! keep em coming! ive got the rc fever again
Thanks for your feedback! and welcome back LOL
Better Video than I can make lol haters are gonna hate. I actually did this rebuild with the hot racing case. some things that I did not see you mention is that if you get the replacement dif gears there is also a very small washer that goes between the drive shafts that I am thinking got missed. also before you screw the diff back together let the dif fluid settle if you have an air bubble it can cause parts to break because of torque. Also Traxxas does not seem to sell Idler shafts by themselves they only come with the replacement cases (Bogus!!!!!) If you have to put the top gear on the shaft use a 10mm deep socket to push the top gear onto the shaft.
Tank you for your comment and the tips. We're just a bunch of hobby guys, so we're making videos the same way everybody else would do.... unless you're renting studio and pay post production. We basically shoot videos during lunch break or after-hours and then edit them when it is slow in the store.
Im not doing to well at getting parts for my ruslter i was just wondering if guys ever give parts away .... i had snapped my yorks and cnt afford to get new ones do u us happen to ave a set u can bles me with im a fan and love how helpful u guys r keep up the good work PS i have a Traxxas rusler
Thank you for your subscription and support Triston, but unfortunately we do not have any giveaway or charity programs at this moment.
dumb question, but is the diff upgrade just more durable? Same gear pitch?
Yes, it is. the whole transmission becomes more durable.
Like your video guys. Just wondering, it looked like there was no lube put on the gears when you reassembled, but metal on metal would seems to want some form of lube, especially if the diff grease is staying inside the diff.
For what we use it for, we do not use lube...believe it or not but lube will slow it down. RC gears do not last as long as gears in real cars, so sometimes you may get away without using lubrication.
I have a slashvxl2wd what would be the best setup to go 50+ should I go aluminum pinion plastic spur? Pros cons
