Seems as if my diff housing is starting to give up I have play right where the metal guide bushing goes in
If you notice in the photo the hole is starting to elongate. On a scale from 1-10 how much of a problem is this? I think it may strip the ring or pinion as it gets worse. Am I right?

 

[evssv]

yes if it goes it will kill it?....New housing imo?

Is this a crack on the housing

I had that on the 5b? I did the mod oversized bearing upgrade by MOD problem solved ?? the diffs all have the same bearings from stock and they are pathetic ??

Much Larger Bearing to help with extreme load. Lasts much longer then standard flanged bearing. This equates to less maintenance cost over time.
Improved Geometry, as now its less likely to strip gears as the OEM right side diff insert is undersized and allows diff to move fore and aft in the case causing improper pinion / ring gear diff engagement which can cause failure to occur.
Improved clearance to run boots over the outdrives. This will help refrain from bone and outdrive wear.
Been in Matts Cars for over 3 years, with success after success with less maintenance cost over time
MOD INSURANCE POLICY:

Ultimate MOD Rear Diff Inserts $63.99 > $64.98 Replacement Ring & Pinion (not counting countless bearings you wont have to replace and have to empty your diff oil continuously to reach the left hand bearing ($27.98 on average to rebuild bearings/oil) (View second image for parts breakdown)
FEATURES:

7075-T6 Anodized Aluminum
Avid RC Bearings
100% Made in the USA!

That’s way cheaper than a rcmax diff housing

Sold out everywhere thanks for nothing @dougstar

Found out the wheel’s hexes were rounded
Ordered the axisrc race pace wheel as well as a new battery box for js performance. Still waiting on obr should be getting a shipping notification sometime this week...

 

[misterleon]

so I will have to wait another week or 2 for the top end rebuild from obr. maybe it is time for them to start expanding operations to keep up with demand. I love their product and their costumer service but month+ lead times are a bit much.

Yeah. Took about a month for them to ship my top end rebuild

I mean I get it they are busy and they should be they are a great company but surely they can hire an extra couple of guys to help expedite orders. to be fair I don't know what kind of margins they are working with, it may not be an option

Is it the Sig Series or full mod top end? If so they have to port the top end before sending it out. Its not about grabbing it off the shelf, packing and shipping. Gotta stand in line like the rest?
