More Revo Diff problems - 05-13-2006, 10:30 AM

OK, I got the diff out of the truck, took it apart and there was no oil in it. As soon as I noticed it was stiff i stopped, as far as I can tell all of the gears are good. I oiled it up and it spun fine, aas sso as i put the cover back on it was a little worse, but when I put the case on it, it got really bad. Any ideas?

Can't comment on the fix, but have a question...

The inside of the diff cup was dry-dry, or was there any sign that it once had diff fluid?

There was a little left, but no where near enough to do anything.

replace the diff cup and seals. Also A tip I got from somebody was to tap out the diff cup first for the screws then put it all together. It should seal a lot better after you do this.

Oh see at the track a couple of times I'd hit the brakes too hard, and it'd chip a tooth or two off.
