commonly broken parts

rebuild, grease them up, and run them with a drill each way for around 5min each. open, degrease, regrease, rebuild, install.

it just removes all the imperfections from the gears and cleans them up a bit.

also, shimming your diff gears gives better diff life.

i think he means driving in a figure 8 pattern to mesh the gears propperly go in one direction for a few laps then go the other for a few. this causes the gears to mesh in good. i did that and didnt have a problem with my diffs.

Yes do what sicj said and Break them in doing Slow Figure 8's for a couple Tanks. I have never heard of the drill meathod, but it would probably work.

cmon break in your diffs? how and why would you have to do that, i mean it would be one thing to take it easy after a rebuild due to lack of confidence in ones mechanical apptitude but to break them in, never heard of such a break in... i find if i f disc my hard drive my diffs work better lol

If you dont break in your Diffs, the internal gears cannot properly seat themsleves, and you will wear them out faster.

I'm a little curious as to how you break in the diffs as well. Does that mean just running it flat land for a while to sort of heat treat em or what? little jumps first? Seriously though Ihaven't had any problems since I quit pinning the throttle when landing jumps and I've been flat landing the thing on pavement from 15 feet plus of air. Still blows my mind!!!!!!!! Shocked
