Quite a few diffs get ruined when the vehicle gets converted over to BL due to the fact the the diffs. are not shimmed correctly. Under nitro power they will hold out for some time, but, under BL power, they don't last long. Especially going from a 2hp motor to a 3 + hp BL motor. This just happened to me on my Mugen mbx-5T


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

No no, this is my FLUX lol. No nitro for this guy. The stock diffs imploded themselves so I went to nitro gears with an added shim. I just thought they would have a little more wear on them is all. I took a look at the pinion and it has quite a bit more wear but would have held out for quite a bit longer. We will see if I can kill the bulletproof diffs or not, but I doubt it haha.
