They make lockers which would break something else. I think all the aftermarket non sealed diffs use stock internals.
On my trx mini, I would cherry red the ring and pinion then dip it in water or oil. The only thing better then that to harden steel is to use extreme cold. My freezer can't go low enough.
I don't think so, but the RC is 20+ years old, the diff is probably just worn from use. I'm just gonna put the stock gears in and it'll work just fine.
Just find someone who's VERY cold and introverted, one look and those gears will be indestructable! I'd like to say I know people like that (or do I want to?), but (luckily?) I don't!They make lockers which would break something else. I think all the aftermarket non sealed diffs use stock internals.

Exactly! If everything on your car is beefed up and hardened steel, aluminum, ect. you'll start to break strange things like bolts! Having cheap, common, easy to replace weak points is ideal!
The bearing in the motor probably failed.
I'm definitely not doing that, lol. I'll just stick with my Nitro Rustler for now.Hot glue won’t fix thatyou could try though, while you wait for new parts.
Was the shock shaft screwed in all the way? Must've been a nasty crash that did it, were you running your Typhon on 3s, or did you use 4s?
It's supposed to be built for a rig that has twice the power!Sounds like the motor may be toast, or the bearing failed/seized like @pug said, or maybe dirt/dust somehow got in it, yeah, send the motor back for warranty, don't mess with it yourself, as you don't need to, and from what I know, these big scale motors aren't cheap!
The shock shaft was screwed in all the way. I was running it on 3s with some small 6 foot jumps with nice landings.Was the shock shaft screwed in all the way? Must've been a nasty crash that did it, were you running your Typhon on 3s, or did you use 4s?

I've sent my Typhon 3s 15 - 20 feet into the air no issue, it's just the small jumps that break it.Arrma's are known to break original parts ,their not that good of quality!..
Man, that's the perfect time for an upgrade! The banks usually have the best upgrades. But they won't sell them to you. You have to fill out an application to get them. The strangest thing though, and this really sucks, if you do get them, you have to give them back!
You broke a rock crawler? How the hell is that even possible?
I bet that Bronco is pretty scarce right now in local shops.
