Hi Bud, really thank you so much, I am very happy that you enjoyed it 🤝. I have never had HPI 5SC but in my opinion it is exaggerated as hardness in the center differential, plus you also have smaller and lighter tires, for me it is better to try something less dense
By far the best video yet on this procedure (been watching a lot of others). Plan on doing mine this weekend and the walk thru definitely helped. Thanks!
Hi bud, For me petrol is really good, it dissolves grease or oils really well, once cleaned I blow it off immediately with compressed air and they are as good as new
@@drrcstunt I just tried this with some old gasoline I had in my shed. It's about 4 years old so I'm not sure why I still have it lol. Anyway, it worked really good taking off the silicone. I guess it's a good thing I didn't dispose of it. Thanks for the great tip.
I have the stock diff fluid in my kraton 8s with a 23 tooth pinion and I have no problem putting it on the rear wing. It pops wheelies awesome. Any heavier diff fluid would cause it to flip on its roof and thats no fun.

Thank you friend my friend always kind as usual😁😁,I'm sorry but it put me in your spam message, that's why I didn't reply to you. In fact, the original oil is too liquid, but with 20 million it is perfect. You too, my friend, remain safe
Took mine apart yesterday. Not 1 drop of lock tight was used And every screw was loose on the entire Kraton I just bought this last week. It must have been built on a Friday 🙈 I bet if I was bashing it and hit a few good jumps it woulda came apart crazy
@@drrcstunt …. 20 mil center diff on 1/5 EXB??? I just built an all brand new XLX2/1100 on my 1/5EXB and the front wheels balloon and over-spin 🤔 20 mil? Do I need silli ear plugs?
the amount of threadlock they used is mental even using a heat gun on my center diff one of the srew heads twisted off rather than the screw coming loose
@@drrcstunt I know right it was just mad a ton on every screw it's supposed to be a drop if you get a bit to much on oh well it happens no big deal but the amount they used it's like someone got hold of the tube and half filled all the holes on the diff with it then put the screws in 😂
WHY doesn’t anyone ever heat up the diff oil/lube/goop with a heat gun in order to get it to flow easier when packing it? Am I the first to think of that or will the heat gun harm its compound makeup??? BTW fantastic video👏👏🎬

@@drrcstunt …. I just got plugs and I took a lighter to it just to see if it responds to heat. Turns out NOPE! It does not get soft. It does not melt, it does not burn, nothing happens.

Hi friend 🙂, Thank you so much really appreciate your comment, yes, I also had a lot of fun the first time I touched it😂😂. I hope so much that my video can help many people, I am very happy that it served you 😁😁
Do you think maybe you are using way to much threadlock. Maybe switch to purple instead. Seems overkill. Otherwise good vid. Prob would have put some lube on the output cup shaft before you insert it thru the seal but otherwise good. Especialy warning of oring swelling. Your hear your voice even if bad english but good none the less. Liked.
Hi mate , great video as always, sorry I'm a newbie... how often is this needed to be done roughly, light jumps. Also is it a case you can tell when it needs doing or just do it so many runs ? Thanks
Hi friend I am very pleased that you enjoyed the video, and I also hope that it was useful to help you, the timing for when to do it is not precise, let's say, it depends on how long you use the car and how. For example I have done the center differential more than a year and it is still fine, then turning the tires by hand you can hear if the differential turns too soft or still has strength
@@drrcstunt like in a normal car they say replace the gear box oil every 1000 miles to prolong the life of the grinding parts..i guess it the same for the moving parts of a rc vehicle. Ie the differential oil or whatever it is...i was just wondering because it would be tedious doing it every 10-20 runs..
@@nosh121081 Yes, every now and then you have to change it, because even this type of oil wears out and loses its effectiveness, and also always check that there are no leaks, otherwise you risk demolishing the differential. But then one depends on how he uses the rc, in the sense that if one does the races, he replaces it every race or every two, to ensure that the vehicle is always prepared for maximum performance. But it can be checked even less frequently, if one likes to turn around every now and then in the garden. what do you do with RC?
@@drrcstunt i only take it on grass but i dont blast it..keep it nice and steady..not to much blasting..i enjoy taking it around the entire park on 3 quarter speed
Just got my Keaton 8S today and saw your video, sorry for the dummy question but why did you do it??? What’s the benefit of doing this? Should I do it to before my truck gets dirty lol that is for help ....I’m new with this rc stuff
HI friend I'm David, meanwhile, welcome to this world of rc 🙂you'll have a lot of fun. Why did I do it? simply because I need a much more responsive car. Since you're new, I'll explain a little thing, each their own rc the modification based on the use that one wants to make of it. I practice bashing (in a nutshell stunts of all kinds and mega jumps), so I need a very reactive car and the stiffer oil in the central differential gives me the opportunity to make the car much more reactive in the air. If you are new to the sector etc. I suggest you to use it as original as it drives very well, the more responsive the car, the harder it is to drive. in my channel I also have other videos on Kraton 8s, if you may be interested, then soon I will post some more. If you need help all you have to do is ask 👍🙂
DRRC stunt thank you for explaining! Yes please make more vids with kraton, will be glad to watch. 😁 Any mods you suggest to do to make it more durable? Thanks again!
@@drrcstunt my rear diff went out... horizon is shipping a new one for free which is awesome... but with this video I'll be able to check and repair them myself now so it was very helpful!
Does anybody know where to get quality 3.5x16mm countersunk screws for the center diff??? I took my brand new one apart on recommendation to check for lube/fill amount and every one of those screws is junk. I ended up drilling out the heads and having to buy the red center portion to replace the old one because the screw studs are locktighted in too tight. This happens to me twice on a BRAND NEW never ran kraton 8s. Why on EARTH do they have such crappy screws holding that diff together? If anybody knows where to get good screws for this please let me know. I have two diffs now with stripped out screws. Shame on arma!
Hi friend, I understand your problem very well, I did the same thing, I split the screw inside, the real problem is that they put too much threadlock of the screws where they tighten in the aluminum, eventually they don't unscrew anymore and split🤬. You have to heat them up the first time when you unscrew them with the blowtorch and make them hot, then you unscrew them, after that you better throw the screws away and put new ones in, I solved it that way, now I don't have any more problems Thanks for watching bud 👍👍

HI friend I'm David, meanwhile, welcome to this world of rc 🙂you'll have a lot of fun.
Why did I do it? simply because I need a much more responsive car.
Since you're new, I'll explain a little thing, each their own rc the modification based on the use that one wants to make of it.
I practice bashing (in a nutshell stunts of all kinds and mega jumps), so I need a very reactive car and the stiffer oil in the central differential gives me the opportunity to make the car much more reactive in the air.
If you are new to the sector etc. I suggest you to use it as original as it drives very well, the more responsive the car, the harder it is to drive.
in my channel I also have other videos on Kraton 8s, if you may be interested, then soon I will post some more.
If you need help all you have to do is ask 👍🙂
DRRC stunt thank you for explaining! Yes please make more vids with kraton, will be glad to watch. 😁 Any mods you suggest to do to make it more durable? Thanks again!
@@drrcstunt thanks for explaining this David
@@petebarr780 thank you for watching the video, hope it was helpful👍
@@drrcstunt my rear diff went out... horizon is shipping a new one for free which is awesome... but with this video I'll be able to check and repair them myself now so it was very helpful!
Does anybody know where to get quality 3.5x16mm countersunk screws for the center diff??? I took my brand new one apart on recommendation to check for lube/fill amount and every one of those screws is junk. I ended up drilling out the heads and having to buy the red center portion to replace the old one because the screw studs are locktighted in too tight. This happens to me twice on a BRAND NEW never ran kraton 8s. Why on EARTH do they have such crappy screws holding that diff together?
If anybody knows where to get good screws for this please let me know. I have two diffs now with stripped out screws. Shame on arma!
Hi friend, I understand your problem very well, I did the same thing, I split the screw inside, the real problem is that they put too much threadlock of the screws where they tighten in the aluminum, eventually they don't unscrew anymore and split🤬.
You have to heat them up the first time when you unscrew them with the blowtorch and make them hot, then you unscrew them, after that you better throw the screws away and put new ones in, I solved it that way, now I don't have any more problems
Thanks for watching bud 👍👍
Hi what gains do you get from this
with this harder oil in the center differential I get a much more reactive rc
@@drrcstunt thanks iv just ordered some
@@brettbain1 perfect, hou have a Kraton 8S ?
@@drrcstunt yes love it
That looked hella hard😬 idk if I can do that my self
Thanks for watching friend, step by step everything is done😎👍
I never use threadlocker.
I only use it in certain places, but the medium one, otherwise it just creates problems
@@drrcstunt I like opening the differentials.
Why change the oil instead of changing the gears? Can't 36/27?
For now I have changed the oil to have the much more reactive model for tricks,but I haven't tried to change gears yet
Assistance please.... When i tight the screws after replacing the oil 1m; the differential doesnt spin....
I figured, I was so tired that I didn’t see that the one side piece was reversed.😢😂😂😂😂
@@alor6643 hi bud, sorry for lete reply, it happens when one is tired haha, it happens to me too😜👊😉
