Db01 diff pulley broken.....

[mrbiccies]

My Rear diff pulley is bin bound after its first run, the centre of it has completely broken out???? what happened there then?

diff slipping..... melted

Yeah sounds like it - if you've been screaming around without noticing the diff slipping then it can heat up to the point of melting. If it's the first run as well, it will certainly need tightening after a few laps as it beds in.
Hopefully nothing else is damaged? You'll just need to get another 37T pulley.

yep, had a good look now, it melted......I am sure the diff was tight though???

Hi, I was facing something similar sometime ago before I put in a slipper. I ran the brand new db01 with a hot BL motor on high grip carpet (just looking if it really worked all right) But while accelerating or braking there were some evil noises- I got strongly advised by the local experts to give it a rest ! On that highy grip carpet, the eccessive power "wouldn´t find any way out" but slipping both diffs !
They hadn´t started melting yet, but were hot and bruised (still working though...)
So again: my own fault ! And again: been lucky !

was that of any help ?

I already have a slipper fitted......was running it on damp grass.
No other damage that I can see......
