Thanks for this, I let my boy take the 1/10 Torment out in the snow and he managed to blow the motor and chew all the gears in the box up. Everything's pretty much the same despite the difference in brand, so now I've got the knowledge - now I'm gonna make *him* do all the work so he learns not to overspin the tires (and maybe learn a little about mechanics on the way).
A little late but I rebuilt my trans using this video and I used the traxxas silicone grease as described in the video but it leaked everywhere leaving my diff dry. I have recently learned that the rustler stock diff isn't sealed so a thin grease or oil will just leak out. It seems a thicker grease like the one used in the video will work a lot better in the rustler diff.
Good vid. I did this to my stampede front and back. I took out the spider gears and cleaned everything with mineral spirits. But the little blue seals swelled up twice their size so I bought new seals and bearings and new grece.
Awesome video. I acquired a 1990's Hawk Truck and then damaged the differential. Your video most useful in figuring out what parts I needed and how to fix. it.
Okay so I'm New to this, trying to help my grandkids. One tried for a few hours then I tried. I just can't get any tork. It all works in my hands. When I put it down the clutch just spins and I have tried it with the spring nut fully down/up it both the same. Some grease might have gotten on the slip clutch but I rub it off with cloth. I would like to give up. I might see about buying a new gearbox and clutch. Bug it would be better if I knew. Anyway best wishes and thanks for the videos
very well done video! I have one question if you can answer it? I think my differential went out, its acting as if the slipper clutch is on loosely. but its tightened down all the way... my car wont move !!! even though the motor and the pinon and the spur gear are all working fine. no teeth are missing :( I just want to try to narrow down the problem, so I don't buy the wrong part.. I will try taking it apart again.. and look at the diff.. thank you ! for an awesome video!
After all the time passed this video still helped me , so thanks. Also I wonder if you can help me, my rustler wont move when I put it down although the motor is spinning , when I left it up ,, only one wheel is spinning.
Hi! Thank you for the excellent tutorial! Can the Traxxas 2wd diffs also hold diff oil instead of grease, or will they become leaky messes with oil? I think diffs that can take oil have a paper gasket & little o-rings which I didn't see here. (And those can still be a leaky mess) Thanks again!
Hi - Just back in the Hobby after 20 years... (old RC10 guy)... I have a nearly stock Bandit that I will be club racing in a Hobby stock class Oval... Do you have a video for Hard surface Oval Suspension setup!? Wondering what you would suggest for med/advanced setup for limiters and oil on each corner!? Advise appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
@preciadoalex123 You're going to need to replace two gears. First you need the metal toothed differential gear. Part #2381. It cost about $6. You'll also need a metal Idle gear part # 3696. That gear cost around $5. The drive gear should be metal. Do the steps I show in the videos and you're good to go.
Late to the convo. But my 2wd vxl rustler clutch shaft roll pin keeps falling out of gear. I noticed theres no washer. Is washer needed to keep pin in the gear?? Thanks!
That’s a lot of steps. Started playing with my slash again nmd was wondering if it’s dirty or dry somehow. I stopped using it years ago, it runs, but noticed that if I go neutral, it stops pretty quickly, not sure if it’s bec of the settings
Take the motor off and roll the car and see if it's binding anywhere if no then yes probably from the motor or the ESC telling the motor to drag brake.
@@nb6584 thank you. Will try that approach. I also likely need to calibrate or something, if I try to run slow it's like it doesn't know whether toove or not, kerking basically. Like quick on off on off suxcession
how do you remove the first gear you removed from the shaft. you have it in your hand at 1:55 i stiped my trani now 3 times and want to replace everything now and i can not remove it i appricate everyones responce
someone please help. i was running my slash vxl today when suddenly it was just slipping, i know for sure it wasnt hex, pinion or spur gear related. and the axles seem ok but the left axle is spinning as strong as the right???? but it will not move with a load
Can't help but chuckle everytime you say "diffryentchal" gear. But great video, thanks, nice to know what to expect before pulling it all apart.
Both of these videos just came in so handy for me so thank you for posting these. Very helpful and practical information.

Excellent video series. My 11 yr old is gonna use these to rebuild his first diff!
u can also use toothbrush to brush off the grease from the teeth of the gears..
A trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Roger Jesus Yea, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :D

I would recommend soaking all the gears and bearings and washers in WD40 it helps remove grease
Great video Jason. This video helped big time when I swapped the stock Traxxas gearbox case for an RPM one.
Inside of the diff gear is silicone grease and in the transmission is white lithium grease.
I think I put silicone grease in my diff and on my transmission is my RC car going to explode or something
@@saltybutsain6348 yes
@@mtallman0692 lol, it was fine, and I drive a slash 4x4 now. But idk it might still explode sitting on my shelf.I’ll keep you updated,
what great tutorials! i´m no beginner but, i have slash just for 6 months and this made the gearbox servis much easier, thanks :)
One of the best youtube vids ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!!!!!! You saved me hours of frustration.
My favorite part was the pronunciation of diff-re-ential

most likley the gear dif has a striped gears in them.
Go ahead and go ahead but when you go ahead make sure you go ahead.

What kind of grees did u use in the differential gear ?
Moly Lithium Grease. But I suggest you use traxxas's Silicone Grease.
great video, made it easy
@EngageTutorials Awesome and your welcome.

@mohammad0050 Over time yes it will break the gears if you don't use the grease.
Hello! i used traxxas diff lube instead of the black grease... is that ok?
i shredded my metal differential gears in my rustler vxl yesterday
Depends on how much you drive it. If you drive it all the time then yeah.
darkeclipticheart would you recommend soaking the gearbox case as well as the idler gear in WD-40 to completely remove the old grease?
I used Marine grease on mine, is that chill?
This video is perfect! Thanks man.
Hola, una rueda tracciona y la otra no? O las 2 al mismo tiempo?
My diff gear is plastic and all the rest of the internal gears are metal.Im having slipping problems but everything looks ok when I took it apart.
Would locking the diff help with slipping problem?.
Very nicely done. Thank you!
Thanks for your help.
What if you don't youse Traxxas grease and it's your first time
wel ....
Would locking the diff help with slipping?.
Ouch. I haven't done that yet.
Great video, nice explanations not like some on RUclips. But why wast all that time cleaning like you do and not just use brake cleaner
It will destroy the plastic parts I think. You can use wd-40 though.
I know mine does. You'll have to ask them.
That’s a lot of steps.

little question , are al the gaers in the diff even big ?
Did the transmission on the pre-XL-5 Rustler/Stampede/Bandit have metal gears?
No. Those gears where made of plastic. They cannot handle brushless systems.
hi buddy would not changing and not greasinge gears break the gears them selfs plz let me know
whoa. i have the same little screwdrivers as u.
my gears are plastic (1999 traxxas stampede) how do i make them metal and how much is the conversion?
using lithium based bearing grease will that work?
Thank you very much Sir!
could you use white litheam greese inside the differentcheal?
Lucas you can also run Crisco.
what grease do you use in the diff because i dont want to buy
what about diff lube 30000 cps instead of grease? that grease is that?
Can't u use a de greaser and regrease everything?
Awesome
ok so i finished replacing the stripped gears and reinstalled every thing and it does the same thing btw i used black greese in differ.
Good video thanks
do hobby shops do this for you?
Thanks 😀👍
An easier way to clean the gears is just leave them in kerosene for an hour it will also remove rust
My shafts coming out of the diff dont have holes thru them either.
what black grease did u use?
alright thank you.
Nice . Thanks
yeah i couldnt believe it
Why does nobody have a parts list in the description!?!?!?!
I bought lucas xtra heavy duty grease for the diff. Its green. will it work ok?
elude22 Yes that will work!
You could but that grease isn't made for it.
We’re do you get your star hex drivers fom
Everything- Videos they are called torx drivers. Basic hardware store.
Star? 😆🤦♂️
@darkeclipticheart 8:08 not that painful if you use a toothbrush.
let s say an avrage of 2 times a weak , and i planning to do a gigantic maintanance so about after 1 jear and six months
how do you remove the first gear you removed from the shaft. you have it in your hand at 1:55 i stiped my trani now 3 times and want to replace everything now and i can not remove it i appricate everyones responce
It's part 3195 and you have to push out the pins that hold it in place. Similar to the pins that hold your wheel nuts in place.
is it bad if i do this evry 2 jears
someone please help. i was running my slash vxl today when suddenly it was just slipping, i know for sure it wasnt hex, pinion or spur gear related. and the axles seem ok but the left axle is spinning as strong as the right???? but it will not move with a load
jacob portillo slipper sounds loose
I know I’m late but if I’m right plz message me umm same thing happened to me but it was the idler gear had 5 teeth missing
But did the idler gear break?
can I us 45 weight shock oil in my diff
+Drew Evans Its not a sealed diff so it will leak
+darkeclipticheart k thx I just used white lithium grease in sated in both the diff and transmission
@darkeclipticheart k thanks
Thanks I just put 500k in my diff
are you drag racing? Im thinking about using an RPM case and gears with 500K fluid
@@bansheerider619 yes 500k is perfect ive been #1 on the top 10 list before
1st comment. you rock.

Jonathan Webb and debrees. And chassisss. And star-shaped screw driver.
All mispronouncing aside, great video.
Regardless. Still a helpful video :)
I didn't have tape on my Stampede
When the gets popped shit gets REAL!!!
a traxxas grease.
DIFF REE ENSHAL gear. Perfect vid for RC noobs that are scared to do their own work.
YOU BROKE MY RC CAR
I striped the crap out of my idler gear :(
I think that's what I did with mine but I'm watching this before I open it up
TechTubeHD Reviews that's what I did too, WARNING get part first or room will look like an oily Rc junkyard
This didn’t help :(
Rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush
Thanks👍
