Silicone EARPLUGS in center differential has woken up my Maxx - Dutch RC Adventures #26

After one year, my Traxxas has gotten very weak in acceleration. When the front end took off, all the power went to my front wheels. The meant a loose center differential.
When the front wheels could rotate freely in the air, while the rear wheels were still stationary, was the moment for to look for an upgrade.
I heard about the silicon earplug upgrade instead of 20 million oil and thought to give it a try.
Wel…. This the biggest difference imaginable. It woke up my Maxx V2.
Have a look and see the difference.

Good Job. This is now my next mod for both my Maxx as well as my X-Maxx

Earplug in the rear diff does wonders too

[@Dutch-RC-Adventures]

I can imagine it will help in drifting as well 😉

Can’t be used a good quality grease?

I don't think I would go to the pharmacy and buy silicone ear plugs you're better off going with the Traxxas# 5040 20 million weight fluid I put this in the center diff of the Redcat vigilante what are difference yeah I'm a Traxxas fan using Traxxas products in a red cat to get it to wake up hahaha

[@gunslinger9352]

Tried it, no fan. Sure easier for backflips. But powerwheelies as a bat out of hell. Gonna buy a second diff and fill it with lighter oil and try "4s". Keep earplugs for 6s with hw max 8 g2 and 2250 motor. Any good ideas for bouncing over? Gotn 60w front, 70w rear. 15mm gap rear and 5mm front. It loves to flip over in jumps.

Does this basically lock the rear diff for more Posi trac?

[@Dutch-RC-Adventures]

Not exactly. It will lock the center diff more, so you won’t loose power to the front wheels during wheelie

[@taclinkof]

Helou frond a rear diff oil namber

[@bobbytamez3962]

How did that wake it up?

[@Dutch-RC-Adventures]

Before the modification, all the power went to the front wheels. Look close to the first couple of wheelies and compare to the last wheelies. You see that the front wheels are rotating far more than the back wheels.

@rcart76 Oh I see, nice!
