Tightened up very tight will give you pretty much a locked up spool action. If the differential spun in the event that you nailed the throttle on a tight turn, you would get some limited diff action and probably generate heat. You are far better served to run the diff on the tight side however and account for the locked performance.

I’d like to rebuild my ball dIff. I am pretty sure the RC 10 came with 1/8 inch balls. Is there a modern replacement for these? I have a new set of rings. Thanks in advance.

I want to say it's 8 for 6 gear, and a dozen for stealth. 6 gear could have more if you used a kimbrough gear or one that has a ton of holes. but the original gear was 8 holes.

Yeah, I counted 8 on one of my 6 gear cars but don’t want to open the...

hello All,

I have an 870c that I'm rebuilding and I can't figure out what size diff balls I should use. I bought a package of 3mm, but those seem too small :?

Regards,
Roger

I was reading the AE manual for thr Worlds RC10 & it makes a point of stating that only the Associated 3/32 carbide diff balls should be used & if replaced with a new set they should even be all from the same batch!

I just wondered how critical is...

well of course their gonna say.... only use the associated diff balls. :wink:

it doesn't matter what brand they are, just replace all of them.

I thought as much - thanks scr8p :)

Looking to build my SC10FT kits and I want to convert to hexes right away, is there a kit that has everything I need or do I need to piece together from associated part numbers? Also do you guys have a recommendation for diff balls? Stock, kit ones...

Last post

The front wheel bearings will work fine as long as there in good shape. The wheel nuts would be the same front to rear so if you have some spare rears you can just use those. Aluminum hexes are not absolutely necessary, but they are more secure. If...

I don't think the test results relate to RC diff balls as they were comparing Chromium Oxide versus Tungsten Carbide.

chromium oxide is what ceramic nitride is based from.... ceramic nitride is a coating

Six-gear transmission. Every spur I have is like this...a few og nylon and a bag full of Kimbroughs.

Last post

Following up on this.

I received a 6 gear transmission today and it had this very same problem.

Luckily, I kept all my old Traxxas spurs from when I removed the slipper from my Stampede. The Traxxas spur was a perfect fit.

Has anyone ever had the insulation melt off of a brand new NIMH battery after one charge and use?

Sounds like a connector issue. What kind of connectors are you running? What esc and motor? It sounds like the esc/motor combo is drawing more power...
