rear posi problems

[tdawg6d9]

:yes:i just lock my spidergears togethier but no when i turn my rear tires forward front tires go backwards? WHAT THE HEY LOL!!

 

[billym9]

wow sorry but that made me laugh . i just pictured a truck going forward then turning and going nuts cause the back wheels sppining the wrong way. but i do sorta no what your problem is. when ever the rearend is solid it is going forward but when it tries to let one wheel go faster then the other (not shure what you call that, disingageing maybe) the wheels are going backwards. no idea how you did this but its one for the not too do books. I'm also not the best with gears but i would recomend if you are trieng to get a locked rearend you should do it right if you dont no what you are doing.

 

[tdawg6d9]

true true ill just keep it 2wheel drive for now

what kind of truck is it in? Most likely you reinstalled the diff backwards. But if I knew what truck I may be able to help you more.

 

[Rolex]

Definitely. Flip the diff and you'll be fine. Common mistake.

 

[tdawg6d9]

its a tmaxx 2.5

 

[Rolex]

Yup, first time I had to replace bearings in a diff on a Tmaxx I did the same thing.

 

[tdawg6d9]

well that sucks that means ill tear it apart 3 times lol

 

[Rolex]

Yeah, but now you're experienced.

 

[tdawg6d9]

thanks for your help

 

[NCNitro]

Ah yes, the ol backwards diff in a maxx. Just flip it around as Rolex mentioned and you should be just fine.

 

[tdawg6d9]

do i flip just the hole pig what the gears are in right? athier word so the right axle is on the left side of the truck dum question but want to make sure

 

[NCNitro]

yeah, just flip the complete diff assembly case and all 180 degrees.

 

[beason]

it should have a little arrow or something on it to show you which way to put it in.

 

[newtorc]

Definitely. Flip the diff and you'll be fine. Common mistake.

had that happen to mine but i didn't put new gears in mine i put new a-arm front and rear. put all back together and the front spun backwards and the back spun forwards so i just fliped the front diff and i was throwin stones again simpel mistake

TMaxx diffs are not marked.When you know you have them in right mark them .I have never installed a diff backward yet because I read about all the guys that have done it on here.Thanks for the tips fella's.
