I want to find out for myself if the stock diffs can last and take abuse like the LST diffs did. I know a lot of people run the stock diffs without problems but I have to test them for myself with my kind of driving.

ive run stock diffs and only ever killed one rear diff but that was a completely different issue that caused that.
driveshaft boot got torn, sliding shaft siezed, pressure put of diff beaering, powdered bearing, ring gear moved and got stripped.

other than that, no troubles, you will need thicker oil in them than you run in the LST diffs though.
i run 500k in the front but that is a tad too thick, i run 5k in the rear and that feels ok.

My son's GERBE runs stock diffs in which I put 50k in front and 10k in rear. I find them a little too loose so in my ERBE I will try 100k front and 30k rear. I will still run my 8th scale diff in the center.

If you starting putting higher than 50K in the front diff steering will start to suffer.
I do a lot of climbing and hard bashing and have found that 30-50K Front and 50K rear works very well.

Thanks I will keep that in mind when I try 100k in the front anyway

It was a nice sunny and warm 34 degrees F winter day today and we played with our trucks a lot. A lot of people were taking walks in the neighborhood with their dogs and children so my son took care of terrorizing the small dogs and I went darting for toddlers. Just joking When I changed the rear bulkheads, I forgot to tighten down the nuts for the rockers so they were sliding up and down the shafts and eventually, one broke at the beginning of the third set of lipos. Sadly, I don't have a spare so I just watched my son play until he decided he had enough. No broken bulkheads though

My switch was not holding well anymore because the screw holes were stripped so I decided to finally get rid of it. After almost a year of running it in a balloon, it still looks pristine with no trace of dust or moisture or corrosion.



I took out the old bag of multi colored marshmallows and went clown hunting. I talked about this trick before on how I leave a trail of multi colored marshmallows leading to the end of a dark alley. When a clown takes the bait, I jump out and grab his bag of clown balloons, the ones he makes balloon puppets with. My Jato shock boots were torn so I went back to clown balloons, they are tougher then Jato shock boots. I also went with blue front springs and silver rear springs. here's a pic of the truck with missing rocker and no place for a switch anymore.
