OK , you all inspired me to a new discovery. I tightened the diff and the slipping stopped altogether, but when i tightened it before, the t was bottomed out. Can the spring get wworn, or to compressed over time? The t shouldnt be stripped i assume, because it tightened. I still gett teh open diff a...

I held the wheels so that they wouldnt spin and turned the spur gear, the diff didnt slip, it was tightened pretty much all the way.(the spring was bottomed out) I loosened the nut almost all the way before it would slip at all under the strength of my fingers. Here's a pic of my assembly http://i68...

O.K. Thanks, ill check these things and get some pics up. i appreciate all the help!

Im looking to buy some tires for my gold tub, i would like a set for the street, as well as the dirt. The dirt i play in is loose gravel on hard dirt, sometimes just loose dirt, so the car is extremely squirrley, very hard to keep straight. Im new so i dont know all the tweak secrets yet. I would li...

Thanks a bunch, im gonna scour that site for accessories and parts.

Forgive me for being a noob again, (after 10+ years) but ive just recently aquired a gold tub just like the one i had as a kid. My son and i worked on the stealth tranny because it had a "gritty" feeling in the diff. The manual for the Tranny sais to rebuild it if thats the case, and it sa...
