I'm about pulling my hair out on this, and can't find anything on reddit about it. I've got two of these. Built both exactly as you described. One spins nice and smoothly, but the other is totally locked up. It'll spin if the cover isn't on, but as soon as I push the cover down, it locks up. Help!
First time I did this I had the same problem. As soon as I put the cover on the gears wouldn't spin. Don't know if this will fix your problem but I just had to open it back up and wiggle the gears a bit. Make sure you tighten the screws evenly, make sure the cover is properly lined up and don't over tighten the screws
@@jimmyd8491 Thank you for the advice! I did manage to get it working eventually, but I'm not sure how. I suspect I accidentally did some combination of what you suggested: wiggling the gears a bit and tightening the screws more evenly. I'll keep that in mind for my next build!
Does it matter what oil goes in the diff I put in some 20k diff oil and it’s making a whining noise and you can get the upgraded transmission wich comes with a new type of diff wich does take certain diff oil
Well, you don't want to put as much oil as he did. That rear end is going to be so locked up that the truck won't even turn. We race Slashes indoors on carpet and most people open up the diff and wipe out most of the grease.
