Doug's hpi 5B SS

Here is the rear and my other two baja tr diffs .... no ooze

 

[Seandonato73]

I think it's how the parts fit together, did the same thing on the front and rear of the vekta. Front rc max case has some grease pushing out around the seams the rear axle doesn't. Next time around I'm gonna seal the rc max case with some 518 loctite, should solve that issue. I've always hated how the grease channels out in the case and your wiping out nasty black grease and nice clean grease that didn't do a darn thing but get slung up every where. Trial and error i guess.

My main issue was it was coming out round the drive cups. So even if I did use sealer it would probably still ooze im running blackbone gears so ultra hard they been used for some time and show little wear only black oxide rubbed off......so not too concerned

Hmm, that's one place I haven't had any ooze out around. Is this the rear with the bushing set up? Or you still running bearings in the case? (May be that was the diff)

 

[DougStar]

Was definitely grease and not oil

Nah is it bearings on the case at your output shafts or bushings?

 

[DougStar]

On the outside of the case it has bearings but the diff has bearing then bushings

 

[MonsterAir]

Doug I think he's asking if you run dual oil seal bushings instead of bearings in the diff.

 

[DougStar]

Irc diff you can build with bushings all round or bearings all round and mine from the inside is bearings then bushings

 

[Seandonato73]

You answered my question already the bearings are what the case holds on to. Couldnt remember if you ran the bushing or not.....

Did your 65 supreme fit under your cage fine without modification

 

[DougStar]

I have 10mm risers at the back and when I redid the side mount I raised them 10 and a I drilled a higher hole on the front brace so no had to mod it

 

[DougStar]

Pulled the trigger on a set of brp 190 for my 65 convenienced that ill be having less flips. What has helped a bit with this issue is , I lowered the wheelie bar to the half way mark . I only one flip in the last run vid i made

Man your getting good at this video thing you might be ready to do a video for traxxas . Those tires look like it's much funner to drive bus seems a little slower compared to your genesis wheels. Did you feel a difference speed wise?

My setup is 25/49 and I did notice a slight loss of speed i have 26/48 and next time ill try them

 

[misterleon]

the genesis wheels are taller right? If they are that would account for the loss of top speed when switching to brps

 

[blackrain]

The genesis wheels probably a lot lighter also

 

[PortCityRC]

The genesis wheels are a little over 100grams less than the brps.

 

[RcJunkie13]

The genesis wheels are a little over 100grams less than the brps.

Each or all together?
