Great vid, but I wish it wasn't time lapsed.

[@rcflashcars]

cool vid! big like! 👍👍👍

[@Jabbrony]

that 4 gear diff looks the same as my ground pounder diff

[@philthyco1]

Good info!!

[@BreydonsRC]

Are the outdrives plastic? Have been hearing they are. Seems kinda strange.

[@elvishao4020]

what do you upgrate next?

[@zoridor16]

great update friend! I've heard that the differentials break their teeth very quickly at 2s and 3s...is it true? Do these improvements prevent such wear? greetings

[@ohiovalleyboy8340]

Would you know,Do these at all, fit the brushed mad van? Great upgrade vid!!

[@metalrc]

Yes these fit the brushed version

[@alexc9584]

Did the upgrade after finding this video. Only a couple of test runs so far. In hindsight would have added the metal driveshaft cups and hardened diff spur gears while I had them disassembled. Now am going to have to spill oil everywhere and use up the spare gaskets doing the next upgrades.

[@metalrc]

I wanted to do the steel out drives also but there was only one place I could find them at the time and all the parts were adding up $ so I opted to try the plastic ones and see how long they would last I am not looking forward to that mess myself . But sofar there good

@@metalrc just getting back into the hobby after almost 16 years away. what would I search for to find these gears?

[@bobking7347]

where do you get those parts?

[@bobking7347]

@@metalrc where do you get those metal parts? The hardened spur gears and the metal drive shafts?

[@mrc545]

@Metal RC Those O rings, do I have to manipulate them on to that tiny ridge around the larger piece of the diff housing?

[@metalrc]

No don’t use the rubber seal use the paper gaskets like in the video the part number is listed in the video

[@mrc545]

@@metalrc Dude, fantastic!!! I came up with the same conclusion. As a side note, it was your tutorial which made me realize I didn't order one of the parts. Thanks for the vid!

[@TR2NLG]

Tested my diff upgrade today. Went well for 2 Lipos, now I have a rounded diff outdrive on the rear - the dogbone rounded the plastic up.. :-( I ordered FAW207 now and will replace them on front and rear. Not a good start for the Mad Van VE.... Did only some speed runs and some wheelies on very short grass.

[@metalrc]

That’s no good I haven’t had any problems yet I even tried 3s lipo super fast !

[@TR2NLG]

@@metalrc Maybe I did something wrong with the dogbones during assembly, I don't know. Will tear it apart and will have a look. So long I will use the standard Diffs. I ordered the needed parts to have them as backup when I did the upgrade. Will grease them, the factory grease inside and outside the diff is a joke.

[@aleg.s.2592]

where did you order the faw207?

[@TR2NLG]

@@aleg.s.2592 I am located in Germany, some shops have them.

[@loutwice]

@@TR2NLG just receive my van rtr , and got the same as you the plastic cup on the front right wheel is rounded just used it for one battery , so did you find the reason why ?

[@uploadtime1780]

What diff fluids would you recommend, and if possible links or names so I can find what you suggested. Thanks!

[@metalrc]

I used 7000 front team associated diff fluid and 3000 rear team associated seemed to work great .

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .

[@alfonxoduff]

Why did you change the diff case? Stock ones are not valid to hold fluid?

[@metalrc]

Yes they need seals but for diff tuning you need 4 gears instead of 2 . 4 gears are more durable

[@samueltorodeltoro]

Did you notice a difference in how it steers? As in understeer, wider turn radius, etc...

[@metalrc]

Very little still turns nice and tight little more push on acceleration but the rear traction is much better

[@samueltorodeltoro]

@@metalrc Thanks for the info

[@kasparov9944]

Hi, I keep going through the 12t pinion input gear, have the Hobbywing Max 10 combo and have gone through 2 Input gears after only a few runs, keeps getting shredded so there is a bad sound coming from the gearbox, any ideas what can be done?

[@metalrc]

The only thing I have broken on the van is the ring gear in the diff not the pinion input so maybe it needs some shims . The ring gear is known for breaking off teeth

[@kasparov9944]

@@metalrc Thanks, what are shims?

[@kasparov9944]

@@metalrc Nevermind I found what they are, what should I do with it? bring the input gear closer to the diff gear? I have a feeling it might be slightly moving inside which is why it wears out..

[@zdenocharakter9616]

helow .where you buy spare parts for this car please???

[@metalrc]

eBay or amain hobby

[@proautojapan6152]

5k in the rear would prob make it better

[@richbulthuis7175]

It's a shame the kyosho made such a nice truck but so cheap, it's bad enough you pay over 300.00 with tax. Not only the diffs made so cheap the outdrives are plastic, Come On Mannnn. That's why I will not buy one, 😰, on top of that go look at the prices of the parts. Cha Ching 💰, Kyosho come on Get real.
