The frustration is real

[AjDale]

I got my TaylorRC diff bulkheads and shock towers. I installed the front and everything fit perfectly. Zero issues. I tore the rear apart last night to swap it out and found the new bearing setup doesn’t not sit down far enough on the ring gear making it it so the outdrive cup cannot go far enough through to allow me to install the pin that holds it all together.

I have ordered some Losi 5T 2.0 ring and pinion gears in hopes that it works. It’s a bummer because in the description it states it is compatible with the 30 degree north trucks.

I would contact them, they are very good and normally respond well, send them your pics and ask the question

I have got ahold of TaylorRC. Kind of a one reply a day conversation, time zone differences make it difficult. They have responded and said “I've just ordered a 30N rear diff ring gear to inspect it, i can't imagine its not a perfect Clone of Losi like the rest of the car, but our diff housing design has worked with SO many Rovan, 30N and losi cars over the years, this is a head scratcher that your diff cup isnt going through to line up with the pin hole on inside”.

I have responded and gave him my exact model just to make sure some 30N gears aren’t different than mine or something funny.

I have also ordered the Losi gears. If that doesn’t fix the issue, I’ll be pretty bummed.

I have installed the Losi ring gear and got the diff together. However, when I put it all in the bulkhead I have some serious binding going on. I shimmed it as much as I could and still have binding.

I do believe this may be a tolerance issue between the 30 degree north input gear and the Losi ring gear.

Losi input gear is on the way and hopefully that will resolve everything.

Will keep y’all updated !

Sometimes 'upgrades' aren't?

Hope the new gear solves your issues... it is purty to look at.
