Default DEX210 Gear Diff

Hi all,
Just ran my new DEX210 yesterday and was very happy but the diff didnt last long. Anyway I have ordered new ceramic bud balls and was also wondering if
A) The DEX210 gear is available yet and in stock anywhere
B) If not will the SC10 fit well with a bit of shimming
C) What oil are most of you guys running

Thanks in advance for the help

Stephen

Default 210 Diff

Hi Stephen

When you say it didn't last very long what do you mean.

If it fails it is usually that the circlip has not been fitted correctly.
Try rebuilding it using the guide on the Durango website.
http://www.team-durango.com/blog/201...ild-guide-pt1/

I have run my car at about 6 race meetings now with rc Lazy diff balls. And i have found it to be the best ball differential i have had in any car ever and i have been racing for over 25 years.

Let us know how you get on.

Paul

Hi Paul,
I think I ran it too loose to begin with and now it seems the balls are worn and when I tighten the diff up it seems to me that the diff plates are rubbing on the plastic, if you follow me. I got one of the regular guys to look at it track side and he said the same. Can this happen to a new diff and so soon.
I noticed when I first built the diff the balls could fall right through the gear. I have only built on road diffs and the balls usually sat nice in the hole - just clicking in.
I did follow the video and tightened it up (I thought) to the point where I couldnt turn the diff by hand when holding both outdrives.
Lesson learnt as I now know the difference between a diff squealing or a slipper clutch slipping ha
Have bought the DEX210 after years out of off road as I usually do TCs. It was great fun
All the best

Hi guys,

found this about geardiff :
http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...hread-191.html


A SC 10 geardiff ( 3 k oil, 9.5 motor, indoor carpet, no big jumps ) lasts in the car of one guy since 3 races.

Happy new year

Ebi

Shouldnt be worn out. I built mine with kit balls and its still going strong. Mine was one of the first batch and has raced several meetings. I've bought a set of Buds balls to fit but thought I'd leave it until the kit ones are finished. So far, so good!
