Ball Diffs

simpleskin · #1 08-06-2008, 12:40 PM

I just got three ball diffs for my dnano's. Very impressed, they come with a set of tools for tuning and maintenance. I'll post pics tonight when I get home and provide first impressions after I install.

And if anyone is wondering where I get my stuff, I found a purchasing agent in Tokyo who buys and ships. His cut is 10% of the purchase price. Very reasonable compared to Ebay and that other Dnano shop.

Google: japanese purchasing agent

How much cheaper can you get these things using a purchasing agent? The price as of now is super high and I can't justify the high price tag.

I even offered a guy my race Revo for a used one and it fell through. That's when it dawned on me that if I can't even trade a $800+ nitro truck, I'll just have to wait till they come WAY down.

Still very interested in them though.

Wow, I didn't know somebody actually got in those ball diff's. I'm very interested in finding out about those as I need two for my Dnano's. Right now I've got an issue with the car "stalling" when it hit's the wall. You know how it has that delayed reverse? Well, now even forward wont' work after it hit's the wall. I have to pick it up, move the rear wheel's with my fingers and then it'll run again till the next hit. Need to fix that.
Somebody suggested it was the motor, don't know. I'd like to fix the car as it is now before spending more money on it and having it not work.

I'd suggest switching from washing it in Cheer to Tide

Yeah I know it had problems before that but I couldn't resist!

Eh, doesn't help with my stalling problem.

Continued from another thread, Simpleskin, I'd love to see photo's of your three Dnano chassis including pics of the ball diff.
I'm still having issues with my Murcielago and Modena stalling when they hit the wall. I'm wondering if it's the motor since I still get steering.
Anyway, how much better does the Dnano perform with the ball diff versus stock diff?
