Tamiya M05 Diff Problems
 

Sorted thanks.

time to get new diff, ball diff are crap. get the oil filled diff.

The 3Racing diff is poor - generally speaking 3Racing make decent structural parts but I would avoid their moving parts. Tamiya original parts are always a safe bet.

Having said that, the most popular diff for racing locally is the 3Racing gear diff, but even that needs a lot of running in before it works properly due to ill-fitting o-rings.

As far as diffs go, the easiest to build and live with is the Tamiya TA03 diff, but not that easy to find. The 3Racing gear diff is also good. The Tamiya M05 diff is good quality but has quite a free action and also needs a bit of experience to set correctly.

The kit diff is also quite robust but hard to tune, to get a tighter action you need to play around with shims or putty.

Thanks for the replies.
I have 3 un built kit diffs lying around, but considering I was running a 13.5t Motor I never used them, as I presumed it would just break under all the power. Would this be so, or would it be fine? Also consider I run this car up to 15 times a week, I'd say, so it's got to last. :)

Thanks for the help, ordered a TA03 Diff from Banzai Hobby, long wait but £9.50 couldn't resist!
