Hi guys, recently picked up what looks to be a bit of a ropey dbxl. Bought it as bit less than a roller no electrics tray/ fuel tank/ shocks, but was pretty cheap at £150.
Started the strip down on the rear, diff was leaking opened up the gearbox case and the crown bolts were all loose. I’ve cleaned out all gears and the diff case. I’m pretty baffled that there wasn’t any diff shims, is this a normal occurrence in these diffs? Haven’t reassembled it yet.
Also had read through this, is there any way of identifying a genuine losi diff case. As they look fairly stock in fact I don’t think anything has been touched on this bar taking off parts as there’s no threadlock on anything I took off.

Drive shafts cleaned up pretty nice considering what they were, pins are still in there pretty tight as well. Got a few bits below, that will be going on during the rebuild.
