i'm actually gonna go backwards & pose the qestion 1st. i can't look on the redcat site to look at the manual so if someone can answer me, great. i replaced the plastic center diff mounts w/aluminum ones. while putting the drive cups on i found there to be a lil slack that letes the pinion shaft move forward & back a lil. i tried to tap the drive cups on further to take out this slackbut i culdn't. after i got them put in i found a small o-ring. just one. does that go on the other side of the bearing of the center diff mount? if so there'd be 2 by my math. i just see one.


ok, the heads up. both of my diffs (front/rear) were bone dry. there was no oil whatsoever in them. i read on here & other places that they at least had some of that chinese junk in there but nope. dry as a bone. i filled them up a lil over half way with lucas hd oil stabilizer toallow for expansion. stuffs sticky like grease. i love the stuff. anyways, that's horrible what they put my baby gears through what with no lube. that's gear torture.
 
This is the MT. Not sure if it helps

ok so after doing my son's xt baring & aluminum center diff swap, i see where the o-rings go. redcat from the factory is putting 2 of them in the front end of the center diff drive cup (side the ring gear is on). this takes some of the slop & slack out of the dog bones. nice.
