well, yesterday..i just finished making my slipper NOT SLIP FOREVER! i glued that stupid thing...so yes i locked it..and when i put it in.......i have EVERYTHING MESHED but for some reason..it just goes weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..and it barely moves......what the heck is going on? it never did that before..and i didnt touch anything else....should i regrease the diffs? would that help? I JUST REMESHED EVERYTHING MADE SURE IT WAS MESHING PERFECTLY! and it just goes WEEEEE i can even hold it against the ground..i need the center moving...both axles spinning to the f/r diff cases and it spins and spins and spins..but doesnt give a tug if i hold it...DID I EAT THE DIFF? THIS THING IS SO PISSING ME OFF RIGHT NOW! :mad:

I have found out that when you untighten a little the screws used to close the central diff's box then the wheels move much more easily.

I'm not as upset as you are but I must agree the slipper/central diff unit is really the worst part of the H8 :(

The engineers at Kyosho must have drunk too much sake -or not enough? :D- while creating that part...

you may have spun a diff cup... same thing happened to me..... take each wheel and spin it with your hand... you may find that one of them spins REALLY freely w/o turning the opposite wheel... check that and we'll go from there.....

because if you spin ONE diff cup... none of the wheels turn because the diffs unload.....

check you differential pinion, more than likely they are chewed

or check the motor pinion.. when they get loose they make that sound too... especially if you heard the noise right away versus running it for a bit..... now that your slipper is locked... a loose pinion will be more noticeable


and less expensive.... so I hope that what it is

Bit man, I've been in quite a slump as of late myself... Remember the titty screws??? :p You'll get threw it. I'm finally getting caught up!!! I had a broken wrist and was not being able to work for 2 and a half months. And when you have five kids it kind of throws you back a bit.

ALL? What countries are you talking about? Are you sure that red, white, and blue represents ALL "our" countries? :) Include black for NZ too...

A thought, not to criticise :D
