What’s up everybody!
I am deep into my OC4 build at this point and
am working on diffs.
TLR (if you don’t want to hear about my expensive part woes) how’s my mesh? I’m using a .2 and a .3mm shim both on gear side:
I had originally planned to use what I consider a really nice diff setup of RCAWD spiral gears, with metal diff case and steel internal gears along with the HR yolks. After spending multiple hours tinkering with shimming and different bearing combos to get a perfectly smooth setup, I decided to take the diff apart to fill it up as I was happy with the mesh. Oh look! They decided to use Xi’s special sauce to hold in the screws (probably space grade loctite used for rockets). I held a lighter directly on the 12.9 grade screw for almost a minute and it didn’t budge.
After a quick check on Amazon reviews to see if others shared my issue, I saw someone saying it doesn’t fit the new center diff. Yep! It doesn’t. So back to stock metal diffs we go, with the HR diff yolk. As stated earlier, I am looking for some feedback on the mesh. TIA
