Literary! It has been standing still for a week now, waiting to get a shock replacement and a hd drive gear. Finally got the parts today and i assembled the truck first thing in the morning. Recently I was just running the truck up and down the street, and with the first throttle pull I noticed the truck pulled hard to one side. I pulled the truck apart and discovered THIS.

Pin shattered and destroyed washer and bevel gear. What the actual F*** happened? The truck was OK before i ran it this morning.

HEY GUYS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN!

Looks like something stopped dead on that side at speed. Did a dog bone maybe pop out? Is that front or rear?

Done that to both of my diffs.

Do Lokoolskillets Vorza mod will help. But those pins have broke on both my front and rear diffs. Havn't broke them since I rebuilt them.

Mine were both snapped running 6s with my slipper locked...and landing throttle pinned.

I didnt have any RC sillicone grease to use in the diff, so i used some lithium ep2 grease nlgi grade 2. Will it work, even for a short time until i get some real stuff? or is that grease ok?

I used marine grease in mine until i had real RC silicon oil. It should be fine.

I only have the vorza mod in the rear..i'm waiting for the front to blow up again before I mod that one.
