CAN AM X3 "REAR" AXLE FRONT DIFF | You Can Run "REAR" Axles in a SMART LOK HALO 30 and VISCO DIFF

[@markflaugh2293]

Look at you guys go. All those years of breaking shit paying off. You learned how to make it better. Ya’ll are awesome. Game changer for sure. Great people making great products.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@scottfatta8133]

Thank you !! When we break the same thing on a consistent basis we are putting our heads together trying to figure out how to stop.

[@markflaugh2293]

@@scottfatta8133 That’s the best thing you can do. You guys are great people for sure. Glad to see good things coming your way.

[@WarrenHunter-qw1fw]

Very detailed explanation/ description of the front end, something that these manufacturers should have done, but then again they wouldn’t make as much money.Keep up the good work

[@Cbaker521]

Great job! Life changing! That is stuff legends are made of!💯👊👊

[@MrEsimmons178]

So badass, i’d love to just carry one size axel, y’all are the best, when i need to upgrade ill be doing this 1000%

[@MrEsimmons178]

Follow-up question… I have a 72” machine have you tested that yet?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@MrEsimmons178 yes. They are all good 👊🏻👊🏻

Love it, you guys are the best. I really enjoyed you and Scott getting technical and talking parts

Way to go guys always thinking 🤔

[@claytonmoyer2712]

That’s awesome see ya on Friday and possibly Saturday too excited to ride with yall

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Awesome. It’s gonna be a good time.

[@jonnylowkon]

Shiat! I’m in. I don’t need the extra strength but to be able to carry and use one axle all the way around. Bingo I’m in

[@TheCanAmCrew]

That’s what I’m talking about 🤙🏻👊🏻

[@claudebigelow2537]

Something has to break 🤷🏽‍♂️ that’s a fact. Another great upgrade💪🏽👊🏽

[@garyhenion9459]

Y’all are awesome Can am is hopefully paying attention Great vid as always Thank you for taking us along

[@dantrivett8435]

Did you grind what you said at 6:44 I know you ground the hump but that is all I saw

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Yes. Just grind the hump and your good to go.

[@shawnwalters3931]

Amazing work guys just amazing

[@M-13_Fab]

Welp. That’s a game changer. Awesome job.

[@bobsams737]

Love the new stage 3 and would love to buy one. The only thought now is what to do with the stock smart spool that I purchased 6 months ago. Is there any options, discounts for trading up?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

You can upgrade to the new design and will only need the center section and seals since you already have the side cover. Message me for pricing.

[@chadvanmeter8052]

i dont even have a sidexside and never even sit in one. the bad im 46yrs old. i will have a x3 or razor 4 seater one day. also i shared this vid to my facebook also i ell everyone about yall.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Thank you. We appreciate that

[@sethdryden8748]

So will this make a visco have true locked diff after? No more 3 wheel peel

[@TheCanAmCrew]

That is correct.

[@eddiedenson4417]

Awesome diff. I’m not 1 sided at alll but do have a Polaris can’t wait to see what ya’ll come up with for the rzr

[@dantrivett8435]

Awesome work guys

[@danielfrisch9825]

Game. Changer. Good show!

[@304trails8]

how do you guys have your shocks setup since you are running shock therapy springs? just got mine and id like to get around 16 inches of ground clearance out of them but dont want to compress them too much and ruin the ride. im sitting at 13.5-14 inches right now and it rides great but id like to get that extra clearance.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We have a video of our install and exactly what settings we are running to get 16” of ground clearance. I can’t remember offhand what we set them at.

[@jfmjr1970]

With this smart spool when you turn the front wheels even in 2wd the front tires will Scrub the way the rear wheels do?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Yes that is correct.

[@mccradyfarms6410]

Does that Spacer shim not need to be hub centric

[@TheCanAmCrew]

No, the knuckle, hub and wheel bearing do that with splines and bearings. We are just taking up 1/16 between the axle and the bearing to create more space between the cup and knuckle.

[@mccradyfarms6410]

I just Noticed that it was loose on the spines and And that it staying in place and resting against the inner bearing race Would keep it from damaging the dust Seal on the bearing.

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@mccradyfarms6410 the OD of the shim is the ID of the hub and it sits flat against the bearing surface so it can’t move around.

[@ninjapat66]

Awesome video very informative even if I don't have a can am xI have friends that do & I pass on the info & share your videos! 👍

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Appreciate that 🤙🏻👊🏻

[@ninjapat66]

@TheCanAmCrew welcome & keep the rubber side down

[@kevinryal9516]

What a great idea guys! I have a defender max limited with the shitty visco lock. I got stuck on Drummond Island last weekend where I shouldn’t have IMO. Any suggestions on how to make it better without breaking the bank? I was considering a torq locker. Thanks

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I would definitely not go the torq locker route. You will break axle tips every ride. Check out the kit halo sells. It’s probably the cheapest option aside from our diff.

[@kevinryal9516]

Thanks for the response. For some reason I didn’t think yours would work with the defender, but if it does I’ll definitely check out the website, yours did seem like the best option. Thanks again

[@p.t4769]

Great job

[@petethiel7129]

Does your front diff work on a commander to replace the visco lock .

[@TheCanAmCrew]

As long as it has the same visco diff as in the x3 yes. I know can am models share the same diff but not sure which ones.

[@scottfatta8133]

I am not sure about that. I know that the mounting points are different from the x3 viscos. but I am not sure of the internals. Let me do some research.

[@deriksoutdooradventures]

Are the axle splines the same as the front outers? I plan to run 4" portals, but curious if they would fit them. If you have an idea if they will please comment back!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@deriksoutdooradventures yes. The outers are all the same.

[@Rogue308]

Hmmm now do one for a RZR front diff..😎🤟🏻

[@blackonblack_x3]

Does this setup work for a 2020 turbo rr 72” smartlock ? Or only visco an halo diffs ?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We have a set up for every can am x3 diff 👊🏻👊🏻

[@blackonblack_x3]

Does that setup allow the rear axels to be setup in the front ?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@blackonblack_x3 yes it does.

[@glenngustafson963]

How did you guys figure out the compounding angle for the factory rear axles in front geometry?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We compared all of the stock axles along with the halo 30, smart spool and also cobra vs turner. Measured bar length, axle angle and articulation on each angle to make sure they would work. All of that along with real world testing in our last 2 video series.

[@glenngustafson963]

@@TheCanAmCrew yea but how did you measure compounding angle?

[@bjayers1606]

Congratulations

[@shawnshaffer4230]

you guys are making me think harder about getting a can am next. And are you always on 4x4 with a spool?

[@TheCanAmCrew]

You still have 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive. But fully locked front diff all the time.

[@davidlane9525]

At the end of the day, if it makes it after send it sherry that's saying something about it. She breaks more stuff by herself in one trip then the rest of the crew put together. Lol

[@TheCanAmCrew]

🤣🤣

[@cwsenderson]

You should try and test the oreilly rear axles on the new diff

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I know people who have ran those axles and they say they break on green trails haha.

[@cwsenderson]

@@TheCanAmCrew we haven’t broke any of them, we run them full time and through deep mud and some hard stuff, haven’t broke one

[@bonacker9762]

Now do the the new Mavericks have the same issues with different sized axles

[@TheCanAmCrew]

@@bonacker9762 I am not familiar with the other models so I couldn’t answer that.

[@ADVENTURE_HP]

How does a spool do with a 17 x3

[@TheCanAmCrew]

I’m not sure. We have 2019 to 2023 can ams and they are fine but I do believe they have a better power steering unit as well. In my opinion it will only be stiffer while turning on the road.

[@scottfatta8133]

I am pretty sure the 17's power steering is the worst out of all the x3s so it will affect the steering the most but I do not think it will be a problem. If you are riding very technical terrain most of the time the smart spool is definitely going to help. If you never ride technical terrain this diff is probably not for you.

[@ADVENTURE_HP]

@TheCanAmCrew I sometimes have a hard time turning but I rock crawl in moab and sand hallow I got all the traction

[@ADVENTURE_HP]

@@scottfatta8133 thanks you.

[@BackyardOffroad1]

Why not design a shear pin set up in a drive shaft that is the weakest link? Shear the pin vs. damaging a shaft. Replace the “shear pin” and ride…

[@TheCanAmCrew]

Mainly due to slop and vibration being caused by multiple hard hits.

[@BackyardOffroad1]

@@TheCanAmCrew I understand! I work at a steel mill and have experience with high speed shear setups. It can work. Just a thought. Love the content!

[@cwsenderson]

I KNEW IT!!

[@TheCanAmCrew]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@zakksrage]

I was very skeptical of this but it appears the engineering has been properly thought out. As far as the case just exploding

[@TheCanAmCrew]

We’ve been running this type design for a little over a year now and haven’t had an issue with the case but nothing is bulletproof haha.

[@scottfatta8133]

You would think that the cast aluminum case would grenade but because there are 3 huge bearing keeping everything from flexing it holds up. Everyone in our group is running the smart spool and no problems with any cases. ( I have thousands of miles on a smart spool myself ) Now everything can break and we are working on a billet case but I'm not worried about the stock case.

[@ohiokentucky]

Typically if you have a large shaft you will need a larger cup.😂😅

[@TheCanAmCrew]

You are correct lol

[@miller440x]

Didnt take long for you guys to get ripped off, very frustrating im sure.
