Ive been thinking about rebuilding / switching my diff. If I switch it out with a T3 diff are there any benefits? I have the pieces for a rebuild but want to do what best for the truck..
So I've got an RC10GT with a stock ball diff. For some reason I've had bad luck with this diff over the years. It seems to slip under brushless power, and when I tighten it down to the point of not slipping, it gets crunchy fast and breaks the diff...

Dang I’m running a 4.5t Novak Velociti brushless on my stealth 2:25 with a fixed gear hub, am I on borrowed time with my RC10DS?
Is there some trick to get the diff gear off the diff tube. I have a bushing in there I'd like to replace with a bearing, but I can't seem to get the thing apart. Anyone have suggestions?

get a big pair of wire cutters, the cutting jaws are angled, so you put the jaws open end facing the gear and a little squeeze and the gear pops right off. I know this is an old thread. But still a good tip.
Ok i Know a Ball diff is great and is standard on the top line kits.
I have been racing since 85 when ball diffs were very limited to the best of the best as standard equipment.
I have been asking myself this question for a while now based on...

I think it also depends on how technical the track is. The gear diff is heavier which means more rotational mass. People spend quite a bit of money to lighten every part of the drivetrain. If you need a lot of quick throttle commands a gear diff...
I posted a couple years ago about having some issues with my RC10GT that I converted to brushless. It just would not put the power down. I drive mostly on the street just fooling around and that ball diff would inevitably chirp and get gritty after...

Nice! U need to start doing videos on youtube like johnnyq90
Definitely thought about it, but when it comes time to do stuff I just want to get it done and not worry about camera position, lighting, etc. It can easily double the time it takes to...
On one of my recent ebay buys was a t3 that I just started stripping down. For the most part everything looked good. When I got down to the diff I was happy the out drives looked to be in good shape. Then I realized that it wasn't grease leaking out...

Not to hijack, but were belt driven and direct driven TrackMaters strictly for drag racing? Or only super loose dirt? They seem like they were pretty common to be such niche devices.
Trackmaster produced products predominantly for dirt oval...
Silicon dielectric tune up grease on the diff and black moly on the thrust? Haven't run it yet but smooth as butter on the bench. Anybody else do this? It's not billed as diff lube or thrust bearing lube but isn't all that...

This should explain all you want to know about silicone grease,
To put it into context, the idea behind using lube in a ball diff is to keep the balls from melting the plastic gear not lube the contact between the plate and balls as they rely on...
