Does everyone here run the TLR Diff Balls/Rings etc. or they after the rebuild they changed to something else? B-Fast etc.

TLR diff rings (which think are already sanded), Vampire diff balls & thrust balls.

When you do a rebuild you only need to replace the diff plates, the kit diff balls and thrust race will be fine.

I am still on all my original diff parts, not changed the plates yet, just flipped them. and have put quite a lot of time on the car.
I do take it apart and re-grease after every couple of meetings as the grease does seem to get flung out quicker than I am used too. After a quick rebuild the diffs feel pretty good, so I have put off replacing anything.

I have found anything but the Losi diff grease is better than the kit stuff. Many people have mentioned Team Associated is very good for this car but I did recently try Schumacher diff grease because I had some kicking around and so far so good. After about 3 race meetings, the rear is still pretty smooth. When using the Losi stuff, I found I was rebuilding it after every meeting even after breaking it in nicely.
I do think a lot of people are suffering with the rear diffs on this car especially here in the UK with the high bite astro tracks. Simon |

That was going to be my next question. The grease/lube. Been a few years since I have owned a buggy with ball diffs and back then I use to use AE.

maybe this is the solution for the rear diffs:

Right I'm going to be dead honest, and I'm not showing a lot of love for the 22-4 at the min BUT Mine was a 1st batch car I ordered it as soon as I saw the photos during the worlds, Built the whole transmission and never looked inside since

I don't think it helps that I tend to like my car to be quite punchy so I did recently loosen the slipper a bit and I do run a hot motor - a 5.5T Orion VST2, which is over 7000 kV. I often do set punch and boost on my ESC too even with that motor. I'm not a particularly fast driver but I like my car to be very responsive with plenty of grunt. All these things don't help that rear diff. Simon |

Yeah, I might try it. But I won't be getting rid of it just yet as I really like the way it performs now. Just got the new cab forward shell from TLR - looks very nice indeed. No car is perfect, at least, I haven't found one yet.
Perhaps next year I'll try the ZX6 but there is little info on how well this performs in the UK at the moment. I can get it for £360 here in the US compared to £470 in the UK! Simon |

what about the D413, it seems to be doing really good on carpet and astro?

That's a bit of a gamble as I have never seen one in the flesh let alone know anyone who owns one over here. Looks good on the American tracks though.
I would just like my next car to perform out of the box - not much to ask really ![]() |
