Next on the agenda was to take apart the bulletproof diffs, clean out the light, stock oil and put in some fresh 50k to help reduce wheel unloading and keep the power to the ground. Unfortunantely, I ran into a problem with the first diff. One of the screw heads immediately broke off when I tried to unscrew it. Crap...... the rest of them were loctited so hard I had to use all my strength to both push in the screwdriver and twist at the same time to get them removed. Whata pain, someone in China put on WAAAY to much loctite at the HPI factory, Grr.......
Luckily, the other diff wasn't as bad and I managed to take it apart with no issue. But again, my luck wasn't with me today as both diffs bevel seals completely ripped apart when I remove the bevel gears making them unusable. Luckily the seals arn't very expensive but I am left with one diff case with a broken screw inside it. I've sent HPI an email to see if they can help me out with this. Worst case, i'll just have to go buy another one at the LHS.
With that, there was nothing more I could do until I get my lovely paycheck and order some more parts and wait and see if HPI can help me out. Stay tuned for Part 3!
