Track Testing My Losi XXX-SCT

I went out on Saturday and ran my Losi xxx-sct on a friends track, it did really good for the first 3hrs then I blew out the ball diff in the tranny. I ordered a new gear diff and transmission housing so I should get them before next track day on Saturday.

Nice photos.  Where is that?

Ball differentials are pretty lame.  They are temperamental and prone to a high failure rate.  They used to be more popular with on-road but now every top manufacturer has a gear differential as stock, or at least as a option.  SPEC-R even built up a decent business on gear differentials until the manufacturers realized that was where everyone was going.

Trying to use a ball differential in off-road with all the dirt and rapidly changing and harsh conditions is a recipe for failure.

The track is at a friends house out of town. I got my Losi used so it was only a matter of time before the Ball Diff would fail, I got a new Gear Diff ordered.

That track looks pretty sick!! I'd love to get an invite

wow thats a nice track!!
