diff cups-spliting

[bigfol]

I keep breaking my front diff cups, the wheel bearing and diff bearings are all ok and everthing else is all working fine, no binding, has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know of any mods or different parts that are stonger and will fit ie:Losi part?

You can install rings around them.

You would have to make them. You just get metal tube with an inside diameter of the outside diameter of the diff cups. Tack weld them in place or some times there snug enough to just press them on.

In end I went with these carbon tube rings, they have been holding up great to some serious bashing......

 

[Deluge]

Hmmm. CF rings. Nice! Never considered that. What's the wall thickness on those?

I fastened them with loctite 620 retaining compound,the tubes are a snug fit which works great with the retaining compound, had a huge day bashing in the sand dunes yesterday, they held up great, if only I could say the same thing of my rear wing support brackets, pity I can't make them from carbon plate.......

+1 on the where did you find them question. Nice shock boots too!

 

[bigfol]

No worries guys, happy to share, I got the shock socks from DDM(daves discount motors). Heads up with the shock socks, they come in one lenght and have to be cut to size,in doing so the stiching comes lose, just nip up the ends with a few stiches before fitting or they will unravel.......
