took the diffs apart today....wtf...

1 set of gears inside diff...chunky feeling NEW

anybody know why there is only one set of small gears in diff?

I took apart both and installed both sets of gears!

I added a second gasket to help with chuncky feeling.

seems better just not completely satisfied... ideas for close to butta feeling

I polish and de-bur the gears and do a little hand sanding on the insides of the cases to free them up. The orings, and metal discs push the spider gears a bit too close to each other. After they are assembled I spin them with a drill for a little while to help "seat" everything in. I still haven't been able to get them as smooth as an HPI/Losi or MCD diff, but they can be gotten very close.

Thanks.. Tried that.

Better.. Do you know what the difference if any if there were 4 small gears vs 2

The diffs themselves are the same ones in the MT/TT....the only difference is they opted for only 1 set of spider gears instead of 2. Its mainly just for weight/cost savings.

So you can use MT diffs in an X series?

(I understand the cases will not work)
