hi all...alot on here have discussed the fact that t/e maxx diffs dont take much punishment, well heres why.
in the first pic you can see the pinion, clearly can be seen the contact is not full, just a small tip of the tooth has worn off the blacking and takes all the grunt of your motor

just a small contact area on the outside edge, the small washer you can see is an attempt at shimming the pinion into the ring gear. in fact the pinion is actually machined with runout so one side has more contact than the other side, QUALITY!!

gears cut by crackheads, see ya all...

oh by the way these gears have around 30 runs on them!!
