I didn't build the diff. I got it from Mike already assembled. (Ofna 1/8 6 spyder diff) It felt shimed right before I put it in. I did notice when I pulled it apart to check what went bad that there was grease in the spyder gears instead of oil. I never tried to put oil in it since I could feel there was drag inside from lube. (assumed it was oil) That must be what caused it to fail. There was nothing wrong with the ring and pinion. But I'm not sure that the Ofna diff would put up with the abuse I was running through it if it had oil in it anyway. I'm actually starting to wonder if other people are getting the same results with a similar setup as mine. My truck is compleatly uncontrolable above 1/2 throtle. when rolling about 15-20 mph if I gun it it will flip OVER the wheelie bar! I think I'm gonna switch to 18 cells just to take some of the bite out of it and keep things cooler. Do you think the batteries are what is making the difference with making it so damn powerful? I use Ib4200s charged at 4A. I can't imagine if a Lipo can actually make more power than this, how would you put it to the ground?

I ordered the gorrilla aluminum chassis from Mike last night. I got sick of my truck flipping every time I try to turn. I have the suspension set as low as I dare with the springs set very stiff. I think the lower cg should help a bunch. Plus the truck looks unfinished with the stock chassis. I figured I pulled it all apart to do the diffs so I might as well swap the chassis.
