blew my rear diff

[Shadow350Z]

wut do i get now should i get an Integy rear diff case?
and get stock diffs from traxxas or get something else??

[nitrostarter]

Go figure. I did the same thing. I'm saving up for the UE diffs now. You can get a used set for around $150-175.

I think the ues are worth the money. the robinson racing gears are a little better. I like the aluminum cups with the 3mm screws with the robinson racing. The ues get my vote though. May cost a little more but you get what you pay for.

[Shadow350Z]

yeah but i cant order via online

[coolhandcountry]

I not sure what to tell you then. If you took the teeth off the pinion or spur. Go with the robisnson. If you start breaking up the diff gears the aluminum diff cup helps out some. Make them stronger. Especially when shimmed right. I had this in mine. I decided to go with ue. I don't regret that. Wish i could help you more.

my small screws and my diff cup got messed up
the screws holes in the diff cup jus vanished they are totally destroyed and the 4 small screws are striped and some are in half
all the gears inside the diff are fine

Whats Maximizer diffs' with Integy Casing/Braces like?

It sounds to me like you are limited to your product selction by what is available at your LHS. If this is becouse of dependence on family for your needs, perhaps you ought to sit down with them and show them the logic and availability of options online. Doing your homework / research and providing that as documentation may help. The logic being that if you must replace a RC component and lay out the cash you might as well get the component that is going to get you the greatest life expectancy and all but eliminate future needs.The ability to order online opens up the market in ways that will permit you to get the products that best satisfy your needs.

I have heard the definition of insanity is: to do the same old thing over and over again and expecting to get different results.

For Diff componenets here are my suggestions. The UE products are available through Monster Mike.

If you want to stick with stock Diff gears, try these cases

If you want the whole shabang try these.

To all concerned your selection of hardware IE..screws will make a huge fifference in life expectancy. Stick with class 12.9 steel Hex screws only and try to utilize Cap head screws everyplace that they will not cause binding. Button head screws next, and flat head only as necassary. For Suppliers of the highest strength kits try Tony's Screws Check out the kits or individual packs.
If you prefer to buy in bulk try Mc Masters Look on the right for Fastening and sealing, then socket head cap screws. Killer sight for all your hardware needs.:cool:


Everyone has an opinion and this is mine.

Here is too much information:

Class Features
Class 8.8 Made of medium-strength steel.
Class 10.9 Made of high-strength steel.
Class 12.9 Made of Class 12.9 steel for increased wear resistance.

Finish/Coating Features
Plain Good for general purpose applications.
Zinc-Plated Provides excellent corrosion resistance.
Cadmium-Plated Offers better rust resistance than zinc-plating, especially in salt environments.
Nickel-Chrome Plated Polished and buffed to a bright, mirror-like finish. Resists wear and corrosion.
Black-Oxide Offers mild rust resistance and some lubrication qualities.
Blue-Coated This highly visible blue coating makes it easier to distinguish from inch sizes.
Ultra Corrosion-Resistant Coated Also known as armor coat. Provides better corrosion resistance than zinc, cadmium, and hot-dipped galvanized plating. The thickness of the coating does not interfere with the thread fit.

Material Type Features
Plain Steel Good for general purpose applications.
18-8 Stainless Steel Provides excellent corrosion resistance. May be mildly magnetic.
300 Series Stainless Steel Meet more stringent specifications such as military specifications. Corrosion Resistant.
316 Stainless Steel Offers excellent corrosion resistance, even more than 18-8 stainless steel. Contains molybdenum which increases corrosion resistance to chlorides and phosphates.
Bumax 88 Stainless Steel 316L stainless steel with a high molybdenum content offering corrosion resistance similar to 316 stainless steel. May be mildly magnetic.
Brass Nonmagnetic and softer than stainless steel and mild steel.
Nylon 6/6 Nonconductive and resistant to chemicals and solvents (except mineral acids). Since nylon absorbs moisture from the environment, changes in moisture content will affect the fastener's dimensions and properties. Withstands a wide range of temperatures.
Silicon Bronze Made of 95-98% copper with a small amount of silicon for strength. Nonmagnetic and offers high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
A286 Super Alloy Made of 26% nickel and 15% chrome with corrosion resistance similar to 18-8 stainless steel and strength properties comparable to alloy steel. Is considered an iron-based super alloy. Passivated (a nitric acid treatment that creates a passive film to protect against oxidation and corrosion).

For a better description and comparison of materials:
Mcmasters scroll all the way down on the right look for raw material then metals select the material that you want to compare and see for yourself. Aluminum vs. stainless vs. titanium vs. carbon steel. Hmmm...interesting ;)

If the money is a problem. Say no credit card or something. Get with mike. I sure he will work with you. Send him a money order or check and get him to send the part. I have did the same thing though. You sheer the 4 2mm screws off to the diff cup. The better alunium cup with 3 mm screw will fix this. I hope you get it straight. I hate to see a fella rcer down. I have been there. I went to the ue for the simple fact they are tougher and stronger. It really sucks you planning on bashing for a day and first five minutes you tear the rear out. Your day is shot.

[Shadow350Z]

ehh dunno how to money order
how does it work??
if i cant
should i start by buying Robinson Racing diff pinion and gear?

[coolhandcountry]

Go by the post office or bank. Give them money they give you money order. It cost a little but it works. Check with mike to make sure he will do this. He good fella so he should. I try to help you there shadow.
