If you ever have problems getting bearings into the brass diff cover try heating the cover a bit by putting it in the oven and put your bearings in the freezer. At that point the bearing should just drop into the diff cover and once the temperature equalize it should be secure. When it comes to removing the bearing you could put the whole thing in the oven and help loosen it. The brass will expand quicker than the steel in the bearings.

Got my wife the SCX24 yellow Wrangler and me the SCX24 meadow green '68 Chevy. I got a pretty good DIY for ya. Just go down to your local veterinary clinic and get a couple of smaller 10cc plastic syringes and several small needles for'em and get yourself just one big tube (for a full size automotive grease gun) suck out a dab and "walla" you don't even have to pull all the screws out of your diff covers or anything to get grease where ya want it !!!

Great video! Looks like your links are too tight all the way around... you could have more fluid or "looser" motion when the wheels/tires move up and down with the terrain. I can tell it's "tight" so to speak. The 4runner is bouncier but it moves and articulates better. Try and back off all your link screws a turn or 2 each...let them move a little. I could tell it was tight when you 1st showed the bottom of it and all the metal links, then fixed flexed it with your hands. Cheers!

Bro, a worm gear should be lubricated with at least a mineral based lub but a synthetic lubricant is better if there are no seals or gaskets that come into contract with the lube. Don't use grease on these types of gears as the stresses they endure are completely different from that of a say a ring and pinion type gear. How quiet the gear sounds doesn't tell the whole story. We use this type of gear through out the industry in which I work and we never use grease for lubrication as over the long term it will cause bad wear and eventually embritalment.

Good to know, I made this video a while back and really don’t know much about lubricants and materials, I just know what I’ve been told and I saw a couple people say that this hobby grease from losi works good in the little axial diffs if that’s not true I’ll find some lube that will work better and I appreciate the info and heads up 😄👍🏻

Wrong these benefit from grease since the load is mostly friction having no lube is foolish. Bet your run no lube in your differential in your car yah goof
