Restore out drives

Quote

Post by janaya » Tue Sep 17, 2013 4:17 am

The diff out drives on my Stealth trans are a little oxidized. Can you all share some of the best ways to clean and restore them. I was considering using metal polish but I am a little hesitant.

You can soak them in WD-40 or just scrub them with a bit of bathroom cleaner. Metal Polish I'm sure would work too.

Wire wheel them, hit them with some 600-1000 grit.

If you want them blued, use Birchwood-Casey gun blue.

If mine are new, I soak a rag with WD-40, and wipe away all oxidation, if they are for runner's, same idea, only with a 3m scuff pad.

I have always run o rings but in my high speed GT2 I installed springs to remove any slop in the bones back in 2017. CVD pins will not hold over 80mph even with super glue red loctite, and a heat shrink boot. The pins leave the bone and cut the rear...

Last post

The SG or Tag Coyote had little springs in the diff out drives , possibly others , only disadvantage I can think of is they drop out during servicing and O rings tend to stay in .

The springs I seem to find fit in the RC10 3/16 Outdrives only...

Okay, is this funky technology or a useless invention? Yeah it's years old but I haven't seen anyone comment on it before.

Does anyone know if the custom works 4475 out drives fit the rc10t2 diff/trans case?

Last post

Looking at photos of them, they look to have a flange on them that is wider than what is needed for a t2 transmission where the outdrive bearings sit. So they look like they won't fit.

I think you're right, thanks!

The stock outdrives are still...
