Yokomo Z-500 narrow wheels

But these look way thinner than the ones I have (I have both stock and narrow).. Maybe it is just me..

Looks sharp in it´s new dress - And.. oh yeah, finally something polished from Jeff´s hand.
It´s only wingmounts, I know, but it´s a big step for him.

Decided to tackle the ball diffs tonight and I'm thoroughly flustered.

Ive assembled hundreds of diffs. The rings on these are plain old onroad/original rc10 style rings. The diff balls that I would assume it uses are 1/8, but they look like they are too small. When I assemble the diff, they are too small. Hmm, so let's see what the archives say. 3mm? 3mm is smaller than 1/8, how does that work?

Can someone confirm if the balls are supposed to be 1/8 or 3mm?

Somethin ain't right

they're 1/8 as far as i know.

I messed with em a bit more and from what I can tell the width of the pulley where the balls sit is wider than the balls. How I don't know. I can always grind the pulley down but something just ain't right!

I pulled apart my nitro yr4 diffs to see what I could see and they are very different! Look like stealth size rings and balls

I ordered a set of 3mm balls, I'll give em a try lol

Can someone confirm if the balls are supposed to be 1/8 or 3mm?

For Yokomo off road models YZ-870c through to Works '93, 1/8 diff balls are used.

Yokomo 1994 YZ10 and Pavidis models used 3/32 size diff balls.

Thrust washer balls are 1/16 for all models.

Edit: I had a brain fade and wrote 3mm diff balls when they are actually 1/8 size.
