Step 2
Front differential
Take the 4 mm shaft and place first two satellite
gears as the picture shows with at each end a 4 x 10 mm shim washer.
Make two of them.
Place the first shaft with gears in the
differential housing with the cut out in the center pointing upwards.
Now place the second shaft with the cut
out pointing downwards.
The kit comes with a bag with four bottles of
silicone oil.
3 bottles for the differentials and one for the shocks.
The 30WT shock oil is 340 Cps.
For the front differential we use the
manual suggested 3000 Cps bottle
For the rear differential we use the manual
suggested 1000 Cps bottle
Fill the differential 2 mm under the edge of
the differential housing.
The differential is filled partly.
Place the sun gear as shown.
Now turn the readily prepared crown
gear with the pin in the slot of the sun gear and align the hole of the differential
housing and the holes of the crown gear.
Fit 3 x 12 mm countersunk screws using
a 2 mm hexagon tool.
Tight them in X pattern and do not over tight!
The front differential ready.
Rear differential
Take the 4 mm shaft and place first two satellite
gears as the picture shows with at each end a 4 x 10 mm shim washer.
Make two of them.
Place the first shaft with gears in the
differential housing with the cut out in the center pointing upwards.
Now place the second shaft with the cut
out pointing downwards.
For the rear differential we use the
manual suggested 1000 Cps bottle
Fill the differential 2 mm under the edge of
the differential housing.
The manual suggest to fill it 100% but
that will give an overflow of oil when the differential is closed!
Place the sun gear as shown.
Now turn the readily prepared crown
gear with the pin in the slot of the sun gear and align the hole of the differential
housing and the holes of the crown gear.
Fit 3 x 12 mm countersunk screws using
a 2 mm hexagon tool.
Tight them in X pattern and do not over tight!
The rear differential ready.
Put a mark on the rear differential.
The differentials are much smaller then the previous ones used in the
SPEED 9.5
Nice the kit comes with
differential silicone oil with appropriate value for each
differential.
Both differentials run very smooth.
