UPGRADE BULKHEAD FOR 6s ARRMA | TREAL 7075 ALUMINUM

- Hey Crew! In this video, I will be upgrading my stock composite bulkhead with a new Treal 7075 aluminum bulkhead on my Arrma Kraton 6s RC car/truggy! I want to show the shimming necessary compared to stock composite bulkhead. I will then install my input/pinion gear and shim if needed. I am hoping this will increase the durability of my rear differential.

Hey, just a heads-up, if you're into M2C parts, just know that the larger input gear bearing in these prevents the fitment of the M2C suspension block hinge pin system. If using more generic aluminum suspension blocks, you should be fine. Otherwise, these are really strong. They should be much stronger than HR's, and that larger bearing will prolong the life of your ring and pinion diff gears.
As far as the loose bearing - it's okay. Just jam a tiny bead of silicone earplug putty in there before inserting the bearing to keep it from rotating in the bulkhead. Or, some thick gear grease. Don't use loctite. I used thick, grade 3 black open gear grease. I also use it for the ring and pinions. Doesn't sling off nearly as much as even Lucas Red and Tacky. Don't worry about that in and out movement, as the input cup with a shim will pull and lock everything into place, and that will be your gear mesh in there. It will stay that way, as long as the input cup stays in place with red loctite. I use HR input cups with larger than stock set/grub screws. Use a mini torch to loosen after the loctite. You just don't want the outer race of the bearing rotating in there. The grease makes for a tight suction effect because the tolerances are less than you might think.
Oh wow, ok man. All great info, appreciate you chiming in. I definitely have not heard the M2c hinge pin holders would conflict. Thanx again. The treal is holding up awesome. Talk soon
Looking good man I was thinking of getting 2 of these I keep pulling oit screws out of the plastic ones
Ya, I hear that. I imagine screws can break in here too… then it is scrap. We will see!
Thanks man this is happening to me I was looking at shims but it’s hard to understand why it does that I’ll go rip it off and see if I can’t stop the play ! Ty ty
@@SpeedrunTnRC No problem. I’m still running these Treals and they are great. But with confidence. Thx for watchin
@@phillybrc yup what a weird way it was moving and doesn’t now because I took it apart thanks again…
Great and informative video as usual. I have HR diff bulkheads in the rear of my Arrma 6s vehicles but definitely bitter I have to buy the covers for them as well if I want the full experience. I will definitely look into Treal next time. Bash on!
Thanx alot. Well I m cheap, that was the deciding factor!🤣 I have high hopes!
Thanks the informative video! You have basically combined the essential shimming instructions with Treal bulkhead overview - Nice!
I'm running a Vitavon bulkhead in my Kraton, but I'm interested in trying something else for my Mojave. I still need to find a place to buy a Treal bulkhead as Treal's own webshop doesn't deliver to Finland.
He, thanks alot. I ran through a pack and ran smooth as butter. Hopefully i can bash and make a video this week! Availability and shipping is always an issue, even in Canada. Good luck in your search!
What's up Phil? Those treal look awesome. I am running the hotracing ones and I love them. I put 3 shims in mine and after I got it together it was tight. So I'm running 2 shims and I shimmed the imput. I am running the plastic covers... don't think you need the alumni ones. Great video brother 👍
Hey Dave! Interesting, some say the metal covers add to the rigidity, but I guess not! I also read many run metal covers on composite bulkheads and have success. Who knows brother, these were cheapest and went for it! Bash vid to come!
She looks good Phil! Nothing left to do but send it🚀😜
I gotta agree with you Joe!!😂
I've got a Treal bulkhead in my K6exb. Great housing and it hasn't let me down.
Had about the same issues except the input gear bearing. I was able to pop mine with my thumbs. It was slightly difficult but mine didn't require a tool to get seated properly. Had me worried for you there shortly. 😆
Yes. Your vid is the reason I knew they existed! I was puzzled about the seating if the bearing, glad that worked out. Thanx for the concern!! 😂
@@phillybrc
Oh that's right 😆
Forgive my lack of memory. Been going through family emergencies and personal medical problems. Currently surviving the storm, so to say.
@@captaincouldverc No worries, impossible to remember every comment. It s all good, hope you are on the mend.
Looking good, thank may be my next upgrade
You re lucky your diffs havn t acted up yet, we ll have to get out soon.
@PhillyB_RC well I haven't done much heavy duty bashing more speed runs. My front fireteams diff never sounded right from the get go.
@@lucdoucet4763 there s a fair chance it s light on grease
Great video brotha!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Thanx alot!
Another great video brother 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank You AV! Buona Pasqua
Treal makes nice parts 👍 I always have rear diff problems too 😂 We gotta get better at driving, lol!
Hahaha, I didn t want to admit to crumby driving Aaron!! I broke a pin or sungear again😡
@@phillybrc Always the sun gear! Most of the time I just let it go crunchy until it fails, lol
@@GreatLakesRC lol. But the pin behind it…once it breaks, the car is undriveable. Do you know how to stop this from happening? It broke on second jump yesterday , so pissed
@@phillybrc not anything different than you are doing. A few guys cut up drill bits for pins. I guess I have been lucky. I just chew up sun and crown gears.
I just ordered 1 treal bulkhead. I’ve been wanting to upgrade them on my 6s exb. I won a $50 gift card to Amain hobbies so i figured time to buy one. I haven’t had a diff issue at all yet but I’ve maintained them a few times in 2 years. I’ve never shimmed the input gear. What shims would you use for that if needed? Same as what you used in the video? I also upgraded to the aluminum diff cup in the center and when I need to maintain the front and rear I’ll do those too.
Im still loving this bulkhead but I did remove one shim on the left side. As for input gear, i m not sure the size shim to use. I research and get bsck! Thank you!
Nice video and explanation. Perfect timing. I’m waiting for my Treal Diff case to install in my Kraton 6s EXB rear. I’m only doing the rear also until something gets destroyed in the front end. Are you using a 3DRC wing mount and what kind of aluminum knuckles are those on your Kraton?
Oh nice! Yep, 3DRC mount, it s been real good to me! The hubs are Integy. No complaints there either. I have a vid…thanks. czcams.com/video/hoth0suc8_M/video.html
@@phillybrc thank you brother!
Are the Treal diff housing holdings up ? Thinking about getting some.
Yep! Top-shelf. Very pleased with them
My buddies kraton has only problems with the front diff. Weird to see
That is weird. My front and centre are un-touched. Having said that, should make sure they aren’t dry.
@@phillybrc we added 100k front and rear.
@@StonerGamingParadise Nice hopefully that works for ya. I run 20k rear, 80k front and recently went from 200k to 500k in center. I hope to bash this weekend.
So metal on metal gears no lash?
I go tight since there is grease. There is a touch of movement on the pinion.
What part number is the shims
I will check but i believe i used tkr1222. Tekno shims.
They didn't work in my infaction
Ah bummer. Does the Infraction have different bulkheads? I know nothing about that RC.
