210 Gear DIFF
 

It´s coming :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

looks good!

Since WHEN and WHERE is this available???

It is on is way ,arrived at China and now is coming to europe ,Diff and Body -shell:thumbsup:

Hey Anibal, where can i get this? :drool::drool:

Won't run it, even though I'm on the SC10 gear diff. I refuse to have any kind of e-clip on my car, ever again. Doesn't matter how big the clip is.

what he said, lol. E Clip has been a pain. Whats the idea of an e-clip in a gear diff? How can it be smoother than say the SC10 one?

what's the problem with E-clips in gear diffs?

I have built several gear diffs from other manufacturers, and most of them had E-clips

The SC10 diff had a pin that locks the outdrive in, which can't come out because of how the internal gears are slotted. A clip can easily get stressed and come loose.

Either never had a problem with E-clips in my whole 15 years of building RC.

I would rather have a pin fitting as well, find eclips awkward and can pop off or stretch and weaken whereas a pin held in place by the gear is not going anywhere.
But do like the look of the diff compared to the SC110 one!

Can't understand the hate either, large parts of my bike are held together with e-clips (and c-clips) even user serviceable and load bearing parts.

And i bet most of the haters drive too........ large chunks of your car (inc. safety critical parts) are held together by C/E-clips..........

Maybe the ARRMA outdrives and gear set will drop straight in. That's cross pin driven. I'm more than happy with the design as is. Just need to get my hands on one..

Been lookin for reviews om this diff what are the advantages over running this has anyone got any links to Durango site with any reviews
:D

less maintance for one advantage i run a sc10 gear diff in my 210 with 50wt schumacher oil and it felt better then the ball diff

All over the place when used on dirt.

Does anyone have advise on which weight of oil to use in the 210 Gear Diff. Having never ran a gear diff in a 2WD before ??? will be running on a small tight carpet track which is fairly high grip.

On the 410 I normally run 7k rear, 12.5k front. :confused:

Check the TD site for DEX210 indoor setups (Ardent & Broxtowe Indoor as 2 examples). The ones I've looked at seem to be running either 3K or 5k...

Hi mate,

ive been running the geared diff since using the car at the oople race in July.

I tend to run anything between 1k to 5k, but have found 3k to be a good all rounder on most tracks.

On a high grip track you can go really light on the oils, which really allows the car to pivot whilst still giving you loads of drive on corner exit.

I think a good starting poing would be 3k. If you need more rotation then go down in the oil or up if you need less rotation.

Think you will find 3k works really well.

It varies I have seen some have run 650 some have run 1-2-3+.. I have been running a SC10 diff in mine for a good 3-4 meetings.. and have tried 3k-2k-1k and favoured 2k.
A lot depends on the track layout grip.. driving style and so on...

Chris Doughty put in the TQ at last weekends Players and finished 3rd overall using the gear diff - he ran 7,000 cst oil in it.

Cheers Guys (Craig, Jamie & Jimmy) :thumbsup:

I'll look at starting with 3K and see how it goes.

Raymond.

7k obviously proved to be really good at Worksop but that's on a cork surface, which is fairly loose traction. 7k on Loose traction tracks will help prevent the car from diffing out under power.

On a high grip track you shouldnt really have any issues with the car diffing out which enables you to go much lower on the diff oils. this allows lots of quick rotation which is good on tight technical tracks with plenty of grip.

Diff oils vary from track to track, so best thing to do is have a play around and see what works for you. :)

I think the rule is ,less grip more K,5k up ,more grip(full carpet track) 5K down.
Im waiting and waiting to get this gear diff,in Tresrey they have allready got it ,im think more 3 weeks and is for sale in europe ,let cross fingers :thumbsup:

MB Models are stating that they expect their stock in later this week.

So could someone give me a run through how these work over the standard is there an tec spec on the Durango site

I have been looking for a diff oil comparison chart as I presume diff oils are the same as shock oils and that every oil is slight different unless they are all measured in cst.

As far as know all diff oils are measured in cst.

Just stick with Team Durango oils so you know exactly what your using. All the team drivers will more than likely be using TD's oils, so using their oils will make it easier to copy set ups from the website. :thumbsup:

Is this worth upgrading over the standerd diff

In my opinion its defo worth having a geared diff as an option.

The ball diff seems better suited to low grip tracks as it helps generate traction without diffing out.

The geared diff is great on high grip tracks such as carpet or astro. Your able to achieve more rotation and more drive in a straight line.

Geared diff also has the advantage of fit and forget for most people. The only parts you ever really have to replace are outdrives when they wear out. The ball diff requires more maintenance and replacement of parts.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages so by having one of each, you can choose which to run depending on the surface.

Pardon my ignorance but when you mean diffing out, is this when the tires rotates faster than the other? so when your track is low traction do i need a lower wt oil or heavy?

thanks

It's when the inside wheel breaks traction under power.

I'm guessing a using a stiffer oil on low traction slows the diff operation down and thus helps reduce this. On high grip, a lower weight oil can be used as the available traction reduces the chance of this happening.

tnxs, will have to try to bring in heavier on my diff and see what happens...

so on a damp astro track with 650cst oil in the diff it is too light and will spin out so need to go higher?
what would be a good starting point for diff oil for a astro and grass track

For Astro i guess 3 or 5K would be good .

Hopefully I will try it this Sunday at Broxtowe and see how it goes, fitted a Arrma diff with 3000 diff oil, not sure if i should run a little thicker as its only a 2 gear diff but wont know till i try it.

Concept give us the feedback.
i think with two gears is a litle bit diferent the feel to a four gear diff isn`t ?

so 650cst is to thin by the sounds of it then it only around 45wt oil

Well I've got a diff on order now but without sounding stupid once this is fitted you can still adjust the slipper clutch:confused:

Yes mate .
