Great job Chris 👊. It took me a minute to assemble these properly the first go. This should be a super helpful reference for people. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Hey rich so how’s your rear diffs been holding up with this fix?
@@derekquinones8614 I'm not running LSD in the rear, just front and center. They're working great 😎💪👊👊
@@richduperbash2966 How did you set yours up without the lsd in the rear?
@@BrianExline99 I swapped on an extra shimmed RTR rear diff after chipping a planetary tooth in my original EXB one. I run standard diffs in all my other 6s rigs with no problems so long as they're shimmed and maintained properly. The EXB parts were on backorder at the time and I wanted to bash 😍. Just like to get out and play in the dirt. I like wrenching, tuning, and driving. Not waiting around for parts 😎💪👊👊
Was this what was needed to stop the diff failures left right n centre or is there still doubts about the durability of lsd Rich 😎
Mans lookin like Eminem
ClarkesMadRc's mom’s spaghetti all round 🍝
Yeah he does lol
My very first thought..
Yup 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. Much easier to understand and more helpful than it is shown in the user manual.
This has been extremely helpful thanks so much arrma. I love my exb. You guy's got parts to me lightning fast for my diff and lsd plates.
Perfect step by step. No useless chatter. Thank you.
Arrma should have left the drivetrain alone and carried over the drivetrain from the V4. In over one year, I've only had one issue with my front diff on my V4. I just sold my EXB because I just couldn't take it anymore. Nothing but problems, headaches, frustration, and waiting. I called Horizon Hobby back on September 4th and I was told to wait until late November or early December for parts. Yea, right!! I hate to admit this, but I just bought another X Maxx! Eight packs through it, in the past two weeks and not one single problem. And if anything were to happen, parts are available.
Its traxxas xmaxx what can you expect🤷♀️
you lack any patience or ingenuity... I have 20+ packs thru mine with a v4 center diff and no issues. It bolted right in and took 2 seconds of googling to figure out that fix. Now that they're back in stock, I have LSDs in all 3 and it works awesome. 1x setup rear 3x front 10k in both diffs.
I also own an xmaxx, and it's had it's fair share of problems as well. The stock servo failed on the third run, the tires blew out, the gears stripped and the motor fans broke. Just like the EXB, I fixed those problem areas and it's been trouble-free. Every RC needs upgrades out of the box.
@@based_will Did I hurt your feelings??
@@based_will .. look it like this cleaning the mess cleaning the grease cleaning the oil cleaning the diff housing, buying the v4 diff from jenny rc check the fluids shim it it takes time and patience. If you just bought a v4 diff from jenny rc and just trowed the exb diff and bolted the gearbox/diff sure it sounds easy and painless.
@@Jonathan-bk7gs no, I'm just telling you if you don't use your brain with this hobby you're just gonna be frustrated 🤣 maybe biking, going for walks, or hiking would be better hobbies for you lol
I’ve noticed TRAXXAS have a new centre chassis brace, the same as arrma... sue them for copyright just like they did to you 😇
First company with this type of braces was Basherqueen 👍
I agree, but only because they sued them first
@@Basherqueen yes!! Your awesome for that!!
Very nice, excellent explanation👍🙂
I can't lie, you looking that much like Eminem with your accent threw me off for a few minutes. Lmao
Swapped all 3 diffs in my EXB for V4 one's. Didn't want the hassle.
Thanks for the video
It be nice to just have a differential for my ExB as it’s been month on warranty waiting patiently but I’m pretty much done waiting
Earl Moorhead rc is just a hobby. it’s not life or death racing for a million dollars. just wait dude. 😅
zedrick zedwick yes but I work so I take summer off to do rc so for me I won’t buy an rc that I have to wait 5 month for parts like my ExB diff so that two rc how many do I need to own to use one ???
Earl Moorhead well said mate you have been patient I wasn’t got my money back
Earl Moorhead I agree. I would like to be able to run non lsd in the rear as it drove so much nicer (before the rear diff gave up). At the moment I don’t think I can do this without the internals shedding again.
@@earlmoorhead5555 people got shipped the open diff with the fix a few days ago
Thanks for this video. What could be the mistake if the wheel only turns at the rear left and no longer at the right? It turns very little and I can hold it with 2 fingers when I accelerate
Video was very well done and makes things slightly easier. Also, thanks for answering some of our questions.
My question is what is Arrma planning on sending out inside the next batch of rear differentials? And is that large shim on the forums legit?
tightening the first screw on to the gasket before the other have started is a very bad practice all four should be upto the ring before any get tightened.
Yeah, definitely better to first go easy on the screws to make sure that both half are aligned probably and then to tighten the screws in a cross pattern. Otherwise you could risk to damage the plastic housing.
@@Basherqueen It's mostly to ensure the gasket is compressed equally.
good to know. about to re-do all mine with the smooth side in
Well noted and correct, in the video we had the driver set at a low torque to install the screws initially and recommend you do the final cross-pattern tighten of the screws with a hand driver :)
@@Basherqueen yes I did this and ruined them... Dang it...
Thank you for this video it helped so much
Its a real shame that the official video doesn’t address the shims, which seem to be the big issue. My Kraton EXB drove so nice with the open rear diff (for about 30mins) then it broke and the resolution from Arrma is to rebuild with the LSD plates. I would love to know when we will get a proper fix for the open rear diff?
Same happened to me I only give it a first light run then it broke the first excuse was not enough shims mine had the right amount of shims and it still went not my job to fix faulty goods sent it back got a full refund all the cars I have had over the years never had a diff problem
Get two LSD plate sets and build each side with three start plates and no locking plate. Or you could build it as above and run lighter fluid.
Get a set of LSD plates, take the circle plate out, and put another star plate in (3 star plates on each side). Not having the circle plate makes it an open diff. It handles like a dream set up like this with the circle plate in the middle up front and in the center, 10k/100k/10k
Jason Dearden (leader of Arrma) posted something on FB about how to fix the open diff. The issue is lack of support of the sun gear (the larger diameter gear inside the diff case). "Adding a large spacer 12 x 18 x 1.9mm, that replaces the LSD plates, is the best go forward solution to support the gears at their widest, remove any axal play resulting from a build-up of production tolerances." Not sure if this is where they got the idea, but I saw it in this You Tube vid: ua-cam.com/video/co4aFuqYj1g/v-deo.html
@@seanconrad5467 how is this going for you
super helpful, thanks
can we still do it as open diff? when wil you release the proper shim to make it an open diff?
you leave out the one part I'm looking for.
Thanks for the video! but i have a question. what's the benefit of the LSD plates compared to just a thicker oil and a normal diff?
Nothing lol imo kind of a pointless upgrade. They should have just beefed up the gears and skipped the LSD stuff. Why re-invent the wheel
@@based_will
I disagree. With r&d and engineering innovation we devolpe new ideas etc. I think it's safe to say Arrma really messed up. I'm hoping they take this as an example for all future releases. It's my hope anyway. Think what was available 5 yrs ago compared to now?
@@dougk4071 heya, am back into RC's after about 6-7 years; all is same except for SCT fell off and scale crawling seems to have continued to grow. (oh and bigger scale seems to be much more popular)
only thing "new" is Traxxas having a legitimate competitor, Arrma . They were only JUST releasing as I stopped RC stuff. at that time would not have considered an Arrma RC; they seemed to be clunky Traxxas type RC's.
Just got back into RC and because of all factors considered went with Arrma; having disassembled / reassembled a Mojave am impressed with design and build quality.
Hello Chris, Great video and explanation! do these diffs lock on power or just provide more resistance? Could I get the same effect in a normal diff with thicker diff fluid?
Can you show it's functioning ‘properly’ after it's reassembled? Mine doesn't rotste at all, it's this wrong?
Great video man! Love the details
@ARRMARC Is the assembly process the same for the ARA311061 (29mm metal diff case)?
so i have an odd problem with my Talion EXB, i noticed the rear diff would randomly start locking so i took it apart and cleaned it completely, i could not find anything wrong, no broken teeth or foreign objects, so i rebuilt it and it was fine for about 4 runs and now it has locked again, any ideas?
Really would have been nice to have this info before I received my warranty parts from Horizon for rebuild. There is no mention of there being a smooth side on the active diff plates. I rebuilt my rear diff a week ago & it has failed for a second time. I've really been disappointed by the EXB as I have spent more time working on it than I have driving it... I guess the third time's a charm. Too bad I'll have to purchase these parts this time if I can even find them.
You guy got it going on I haven 4
Can you make 1/10 rc touring car on 3s that can do track , drift or rally car ? On the same concept arrma tough. That would be nice😁.
Omg i should have done this yesterday should have watched the video never knew this info😞
Merci beaucoup super vidéo👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i did not see any diff oil go in. is there diff oil that go's in?
Wish they could bring out a complete diff that DOESNT Need shimming or atleast make them shimmed from factory
Nice Vid. Wish you guys made your center diff case out of alloy like Team Corally instead of plastic. Rock got in and jammed underneath and ground a slot right around the case and now she's leaking. Other than that my Kraton EXB has been great..
Do these need to be shimmed too?? Thx
Can I put these in my v4? My guess would be yes?
Nice vid I rebuilt all my diffs with heavier oil but I’m getting slippage in my gears like there skipping the gears I’m not sure what the problem could be I was wondering if you guys had any ideas thanks
Great explanation video I just did maintenance on mine and center and rear diffs were missing one of the slipper plates. What's the deal???
Hope this new diff lasts longer than the first one(35 packs) in my EXB.......and that was with a repack/shim clearance check before the first run.
I don’t appreciate Horizon Hobbies making me feel like I was an isolated case......when everyone was having issues......not the first time though in 20 years+ .....so my fault.......not drivable for almost two months now......no end in sight.........it’s only $1100 sitting idle 😂
I won’t be holding my breath for this to work 😂😂😂😂
Same 1400$ and I got sent shims only. lol
So why cant Arrma say what will be in the diff being sold soon
How has this been holding up for you ? My cousin has 30 6s packs through his exb and he got the newest batch, I’m just curious if this fix worked for you?
Hey guys love your trucks. But have a question...is a bigger say 1/5 scale Mojave coming soon? Thanks
I remember this guy from car wow 😂
Built it exactly as shown in the video, but with limited effect. Feels super notchy, is that normal?
Whens the new typhon coming out??
Will this kit work on the center diff as well?
If not, is there a solution other than locking, 20mil fluid, or silicone ear plugs?
My arrma mojave only came with 2 plates, no round one in the middle or end😢
Can you explain why the INTERACTIVE EXPLODED VIEW on the web site shows the rear diff build different to what you have done here? The main image of it shows the LSD plates to go star star plain plates.. then the exploded view of the plates show it the way you have done here( but no mention there of which direction they should be installed). Also from what date are the "updated/fixed" versions of the EXB in the shops? as I have held off buying one till this mess gets sorted :D
Is the assembly process the same for the ARA311061 (29mm metal diff case)?
Is this a resolution for the known diff issues with the kraton exb? Or will arrma eventually be sending out corrected versions of the kraton exb from the factory? Kind of afraid to buy one with all the issues lately.. Not looking to wrench on it right out of the box lol
ARRMA corrected the issue. They now ship with LSD in all three diffs, nothing to be worried about.
I’d prefer the old original diffs , simply is best
I am having problems removing the pin to take out a broken out cup shaft any i dea on how to remove it
Use a Dremel to cut off the outdrive and replace the outdrive. The pins are weak and then get jammed in the hole. Hope that helps
where u get them from please
Can you use these in a felony? Wouldn't they be better? Thanks guys
Hello my rear differential looks different. I also have the kraton 6s v5. The exploded drawing in my instructions for use is also different. Mhhhh
Lg from Austria
whats the impact if I put a heavier diff oil inthe lsd diff
This spiral differential gear and other EXB diff internal parts can be used with Arrma aluminum diff case?
Arrma upgraded diffs cups are driving me crazy, once i assemble them and put them in the diff housing/bulkhead i get bad mesh. spent a bunch of money and had to go back to the plastic cups
Can you tell us if the EXB manual is correct regarding the 3 shims under the pins? It has two large(.15 thick) and 1 small (.20 thick).
Can these lsd plates be used in the center diff as well ? Asking because my mojave diffs out real bad , I've put some super thick oils and greases in it and it still diffs out. I bought everything to build a new center diff and put jb weld in it to permanently lock the center diff but that in turn destroyed my rear diff .
i am your big fan arrmarc desinged fast desinged touogh
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Should make a diff like this for the regular kraton 6s
This diff is direct drop in with the correct input gear. The diff housing is the same.
Any news about the V5 Cars like Typhon V5?
You guys offer a open diff ara311066 is this diff any comparable to the lsd durability !
I loved the video! I like how you guys really help and listen us Arrma owners. Can’t wait till a new Arrma comes? When will it be?
Alex Pie123 👀
@@ARRMARC hm
What's the part-number for 6s exb diff case in aluminium?
Very usefull information 👍. Thank you. How can i get the little steel pin out in the plastic cup?
It's easiest to use needle-nose pliers to remove the cross pins (ARA713033)
how do I keep my front end down on my exb , I have a max 6 20t , running 50k 200k 20k , the kraton still lifts on about 30 % throttle I'm looking to send more power to the front than rear ? Any suggestions
Tried this way with new diff gears and lsd plates it's kind of nothchy with 10k fluid is this normal
Hello by friend thank you for all you hard work in putting out all these awesome cars and trucks, really gorgeous trucks well done, I heard TRAXXAS is coming out with a new 1/5 SCALE E REVO BRUSHLESS EDITION it would be cool what do you think@ rks your the best thanks your friendly neighborhood Doorman william from NYC forgettaboutit 👊 😀
Question fellas does the 6s V5 exb chassis fit the 2021 6s V5 blx?
hey chris, can i use those lsd plates on a regular rear differential for kraton?
Ya I want to know if you can do that too.
Why isn’t this on the 8S EXB?
No diff oil?
Chris what screw gun tools do you use? Can you send me a link.
I'm struggling I'm 100% sure my last shim was installed flat side in, smooth side out. Checked the oil and now it's just not going back smoothly
lol, i had no idea what way they were supposed to go around and im pretty sure one side of my diff is now set to lsd and the other side open..
Mojave exb has the center differential removed
Didn’t Losi try this with their smart diff and it was a complete failure?
What happen with losi lsd?
If I purchase a new Arrma EXB Kraton or Mojave today, will either incorporate the differential upgrades already or will it be something I need to do after the purchase?
Did you ever find an answer?
@@lifetakesflight Not a word so I went another direction.
Arrma, PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ever put these LSD diffs in the RTR's!! Don't ruin a good thing. Remember, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
They just need to use the revised open EXB diffs, then it would be fine for the RTR cars, and they'd be more durable.
What happens if I don't put the plates facing like this?
I guess it would be just notchy, as two sharp edges will face each other
@@yonicozac I rebuilt my front and rear as lsd. Sadly they're notchy, I'm tired of taking this thing apart. What happens if I leave it like that😣
@@jamesrobinson4950 idk i think it will just wear down idk
I cracked them back open, I had them going every which way lol, now they turn like butter. I never ran it like that, arrma dropped this video right on time!
@@jamesrobinson4950 i opned my rear diff again is smooth now. I need to open the center diff now
Didn’t know Eminem had rc’s
I was wondering if you could possibly make a video to show how to put on a new servo for my Kraton 4s and how to program a new controller
Holy shit is that marshal mathers.?
Nice arrma should patent it or it might be copied by other brands
Hpi did this 10 years ago. It’s not new.
@@clayton8465 what truck was this
losi also had a smart diff thing they did years ago
You guys should try to make a nitro, I would definitely buy one buy Arrma!
👍
Imagine paying 500$ for the chassis and you have to rebuild your own rear diff LOL oh wait i did this..... damn i got scammed
With the exception of the accent , he looks like
EMEINEM!!!! 😂Am I lying 🤥
How many plates for one diff?
Watch the video
6.
im getting hella resistence
with the center diff
You guys thought this was a good upgrade? It was a major flop.
A major pain
Agreed. Not nessesary at all.
Sorry but what kind of "Official How To Guide" is this? You didn't mention shimming part under the LSD plates ,which is the most important part.
These diffs are trash. I go thru a set of gears in the rear at least every 3 runs. I have them built in the 1x config exactly like this video, without the plates it wouldn't last 15 min. Hopefully arrma comes up with a better solution.
No replies to comments from ARRMARC. Sad. Fool me once Arrma.
you seriously cant expect them to keep coming back to each video and searching for unanswered comments can you? Thats rather absurd.
