Here is a picture of my rear diff.case. I was running in a flat field, did some donuts,top end runs. Getting ready for the track with Lightforce and the boy`s. So my track appearance will be delayed. 100_0280.webp
 
I really don't know. I was driving and it just quit moving. There was a lot of oil on the pan. Boy I hate tearing it down.
 
That was with jetpro pipe?


How long were you running at top speeds?


Did the bearing over heat and melted the plastic enclosure or just explode?


It`s weird did not happen to me with the abuse XB took for the last month.
 
I was using the stock pipe with holes drilled through it. Melted my body,but poop did it fly! I will take more pic`s. when I get over it and tear it down.So the Green honet stung himself!
 
Well I think what saved me was when it blew,I lost the 11t diff. gear ,drive cup,and the two bearings. I bet if the gear case did not explode thier would have been as you said gear rape! Perhaps it`s best to tone it down a little with these xb`s and xbe`s. Imagine haveing buggy`s that are to fast! ha ha.
 
Looks like bearing overheated and failed then the case melt down to the point it threw the pinion and cup out .


I think V2 needs all bearings to be bigger .
 
they sure look nice running haha, makes ya want to fix them when they are broken so you can run them again, haha
