serpent gear diff in 22

[richm]

after becoming frustrated with constantly having to clean diff oil out if my gearbox and replacing the bearings on the diff until i get round to cleaning them,

after trying the associated gear diff after seeing people recommending that they dropped straight in, and finding that wasnt the case with the one that i got - had a high spot that i couldnt get rid of, i had a further rummage around the joy that is the internet and found that the gear diff for the Serpent SRX-2 had the same number of teeth as the Losi- 51 compared to the Associated's 52.

ordered it from http://eliterc-online.co.uk
and have just fitted it.
i put 0.5mm shims on either side of the diff as it is a little thinner than the Losi diffs, but fits straight in otherwise, and have put the Serpent recommended 7000K oil in after trying 5000k which felt a little loose. 7k feels about the same as 3k in the losi one.

will run it tonight at maritime and see how it goes. and how much oil is out of the diff at the end of the meeting.
