loading up on parts now and gonna rebuild all 3. My Center Diff on the new Outcast EXB RTR is already flinging fluid on my bashes, time to upgrade/ rebuild! can't wait

My diffs have been driving me nuts! It was good I worked on all three, but I am back at the rear diff. I have an Outcast 6s EXB, but this was still helpful. I need to emphasize having a solid seal. My rear diff has been leaking and even pushed out a couple screws.

I tried the Mugen Shim kit in my V5 Typhon BLX last night and they were way too tight. Maybe they have slightly tightened the tolerances of their diff cups since 2019. Thanks for all the tips. I'll keep the shims to try on the open rear diff on my Kraton EXB.

Looks like link to the high end dog bones appears to no longer be working — may need to be updated. Thx!

4:30 the original gasket has bigger holes for the screws compared to TekJo, just so that it will go around those exact protrusions. this of course means that the remaining material for each hole's wall will be thinner so breaks easier. I think that's the only quality difference stock vs TekJo. BUT if you go with TekJo you HAVE TO to shim/shave those protrusions off

Great video. For the gasket on the diff my truck is brand new never used actually waiting on shimes before I take it out. Also the fluids I'm using 100k in rear and 30k center. 10k front that what the hobby store recommend. Most of power goes to the rest end that why some of the EXBs and Kraton are have issues on the rear diffs

You should tighten screws in an opposing pattern, not circular. Going in a circle pushes material/gasket as you go around and will bunch up at the end causing leaks. This is standard in automotive, even for wheel tightening sequence they reccomend it to ensure proper torque.

This was really well done and informative. Thanks for helping.

[danielkonrad]

Thank you for these great tips and tricks. It helped me a lot.
What do you use to get the old diff oil removed? Thanks dude.

[MrGsxr]

Put a peice a sand paper on a flat surface and flip the case over on it and you can sand those bures right of then any gasket while work

[gonzodetroitify]

Awesome but what’s causing the seeping out at 9:43 🤔

[leigholding]

What about the TLR typhon can you take out two inner gears and just run with two for racing? Then shim with mugen shims? 7, 5, 3 oil. Lose dirt track.

[Reecefpv]

Just curious. But what weight fluids do you guys run in the 6s. I shattered a sun gear and a couple spider gears lmao 🤣 and just curious what everyone was running. I think I had the rear at 30k maybe 50k I can't remember lol

[troyflanagan]

How often do u do this with differentials

[tkostang]

You should tighten the screws in a cross pattern. You May end up with a leak if you tighten it the way you did.

[patricklangdon]

Did it seal or did it keep seeping out? Good tips btw, thanks.

[tkostang]

Tighten bolts in a cross pattern. Might be getting leaks tightening them in a Circle.

[g.b-MTB-trail-jumps]

grate video man. you can send link\URL for the yellow bearings

[ETAI]

It looks that the leak is from the internal o-ring..
The gasket is preventing the oil to pass threw the big ring and the diff cup connected.. so i guess its o ring..
From where was the leak at the end?..

Great vids !! I love them.

[paulrakis]

Great video. Would you recommend 10K for my notorious 6s for the rear differential? Didn't touch anything else yet. Only run the truck like six times so fluid now looks like liquid metal so I'm going to change it.
