LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[Bondonutz]

Those pins under the sun gear/the out drive pin, they are the weakest link of the XXL diff. I've read where a guy on the LST forum uses colbolt drill bits and they have yet to break, but now he's breaking gears.
I'll rather replace the pin than mess with the gear pieces and chunks that get all m ixed up in the fluid ?

I used to run heavy wt diff fluid but I've dropped down to 15K and i haven't broken a pin in a while now.

It's not the pin that broke, it's the small shaft of the outdrive that the pin goes through that broke. But like you said, better that than the gears themselves which can in turn damage the diff case and mess a big mess inside the diff. With the power of brushless, there has to be weak links here and there on inexpensive parts to protect the rest.

I gotta movie. It's 51 mg. I don't know if my Photobucket account allows large files like that but I'll try uploading it and also on Youtube. Hope it works.
