losi22 geared diff
 

does the 22 rtr geared diff need to be greased or oiled if so with what? will the clear diff grease for the standard diff be ok????:eh?:

Ps got mine from DMS Racing if you're interested!!

Got mine from dms, with some Hiro seiki metal gear grease. Will be building it up over the next couple of days or so;)

Ps thanks DMS:thumbsup:

Jay you could do with some diff grease in there but without running it yet i can't recommend anything as yet, although i would imagine something fairly thin is best so leass than 5000wt

I agree, rallyx diff oils, anything above 5000 starting to get very heavy.I will prob start around 1000,2000:thumbsup:

hi what advantage will the gear diff give you????

There is none, it's just the low maintenance option for those that don't maintain their cars that don't notice the benefits of a balldiff.

ok so why is everyone raving on about when they come out

Because they can't build a balldiff, or just don't know any better. :lol:

geared diff
 

feels a hell of alot smoother to me but what do i know i'm just a spastic that cant build diffs!!

Your just to fussy Jay:p

Lower maintenance sounds like an advantage to me, and it should be more consistant if it seals well. The losi diff does needs very regular maintenance to keep it tip top, even with decent balls.

Every diff needs regular maintenance to keep in top top, even a gear diff. ;)

Has anyone run the diff yet?

Built it up with metal gear grease, anyone used diff oil?

I have built mine up but need to tighten the screws, what size hex driver...cannot get to the back of the garage to rifle through my stuff ...got a feeling that the screws are imperial.

prob gonna be 1.5 mm wrench. I would put 3000 wt diff oil in it to start

I was told it was not a proper sealed diff, although quite clearly the number of rubber washers indicate otherwise. Still lighter than a ball diff using the grease.

it should be a properly sealed gear diff but the looks of the orings

my ball diff have been running well after i change it to ceramic balls but this thing just arrived from the LHS and i just have try it oiled and run it outdoor track n see how it goes over the weekend..

oh dear god! metal gear grease? diff oil. anything between 1 and 7k depending on grip levels at your track. less viscous for less grip

probably a .50 imperial driver knwoing losi gear diffs

And for those who "dont" wish to run diff oils and constantly change them to suit conditions/driving style, "metal gear grease" will work just fine. Serious racers will use oils (and/or ball diffs of course) occasionl or club racers or even bashers may well prefer a standard "fit and forget" grease (as supplied in the RTR's).....

We have had a 40/60 split of customers wanting to just build the diff "once" and never see it again (thats the 40%) and if that suits them what is wrong with that?

Early indications form Losi were that it was not even going to be a sealed unit when it arrived which would have meant grease only but as it turns out they deciedd to make it sealed.
