| Differential ~ Slop @ Pinion (36/14)???
Im noticing a fair amount of play (slop) in the pinion at the diffeential which seems to be coming from the bearing inner race. Im sure this is common on any pinion/ring gear combo but how are you guys combatting this one?

up/down//left/right play or in/out? Are there two bearings and both are good? I put a Traxxas teflon 5mm washer between the outer bearing and MIP shaft to keep the pinion out away from the diff where the mesh seems happiest and left it at that. |

in/out which i beleive is fine, its up/down making the driveshaft wobble signifigantly by hand (manual) and the bearings are both still relatively new. Just got the wraith a month or so ago and have only a dozen runs on er'

I've got the overdrive ring and pinion in my Wraith and there is a little up/down play, but it doesn't seem to affect the balance of the drive train. Stock WB driveshafts with inserts for strength. Maybe your driveshaft(s) have a bit of a twist making them run out of balance? |

| Re: Differential ~ Slop @ Pinion (36/14)??? What driveshafts are you running? My MIPs have a little slop in em. The pinion is actually not where most of the play is coming from. If you have MIP driveshafts I have heard that the play can be helped by using Traxxas style driveshaft set screws with a small shoulder. Haven't tried it because the play doesn't seem to be bothering anything.

the only stock parts left on my axles are the lockers (Fr/Rr) and the drive-shafts. Eventually ill get the VP lockers and MIPs but for now...itll have to do! this Wraith is one helluva moneypit *jeesh* |
