Revo platinum question

[mikeweddle227]

Ok so I have a revo platinum, are the differentials or something in them different? Because it won't kick sideways or do donuts and it won't do a wheelie. Like the front wheels will pop up then the rear wheels like lose power.

The platinum has a center differential in the transmission. It will send the power to the wheels (front or rear) with the least amount of traction. Thicker wt oil in the cd (500K and up) will help even the transfer of power between the front and rear.

Is that something that you can change?

 

[Snook Man]

Yes, you can remove the center diff. Remove the rear brake and install a new output gear and shaft in the transmission.

You can experiment with thicker oil or even silly putty in the center diff, but it's a pos with only 2 spider gears in it. Real diffs have at least 4 or even 6 spiders. I would get the forward only shaft for it.

Is there any aftermarket center diffs other than the traxxas one?
