Hi guys, back at RC doing full maintenance, today I saw my LOSI 5ive T is drooling / damp on the clear gasoline pipe and on the differentials. I changed the oil in the differentials but due to lack of time I never run it. It has been stopped for a long time. Could this be the reason for drooling? Should I open all the differentials again and change the oil?
In my BAJA 5B it was also drooling and when I opened the differential it was empty.

greetings👍
 
My T 2.0 sat for over a year and the rear is just starting to leak. Since they are basically paper they just get saturated to the point of not sealing. I will be doing all 3 of mine by just buying the o-ring and seal kit but there are ZERO available online. On my Losi 8's and other diff RC's i cleaned the gaskets and dried them out in a 175deg oven with no leaks after reusing them.

In a pinch if you wanted to make your own i recall the gaskets are FelPro 3195 material.
 
I will disassemble the 3 differentials and then check the joints and post here. Is it normal for the gas pipe to be damp/frizzy after a long stop?
 
the clear tube from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
My carburetor only receives one tube from the gas tank. It's a modified carburetorIMG_3742.webp
 
Thank you 👍
when I start maintaining this LOSI I will look at these points first.

greetings
