How To: Kyosho 1/8 Diff / Bulkhead Build [Bag 1] from New Kit {Beginner Tutorial with Ryan Lutz} 

I hope you stay with Kyosho and I wish you all the success in 2024! Kyosho is King imho

I’d sand the diff cup gasket surface a little and add a second gasket to that tight diff to free it up.

I'm building my MP10Te and watching you build your kits has been a huge help! I do not race but want my stuff to perform at its best. Building my Diff's is next so thought I would check the old RU-vid. I just subscribed.

My mp10 tki3 is about to be delivered and you just started uploading building videos, right on time !!

A good video and a very good help with your tips. Thanks a lot

the diff left and right reversed,so too tight

Keep those video's coming. Love learning more from each video...

Nice job kyosho are very lucky to have you I wouldn’t own one if not for you and I love it

clair et précis, un très bon tutorial 👍

I’m loving this! Just bought a tki3 for Christmas, hopefully we get the whole build before then. Love your work Ryan and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Kyosho is king 👑

Another great video and great tips as well 👍 thanks Ryan 😁

Good video 👍‼️💯🔥🛢️🏁🏎️🤓🇨🇵

Ryan. The Instructions are kind of vague. Are you only supposed to use one shim per side of the gear box? Even for the Nitro setup? I was trying to follow along! 😊

Truly great, in depth video. Learned a lot, thank you

"Kyosho has the best tolerances" !!! hahahaha !! good one ! Have you ever worked on a XRAY kit ? #crunchydiffs

So when you put the last big spider gear in the oil should be level with the diff cup?

I see there is Bag 1, 5 and 7, can you point me in the direction of the other bags...Thanks great videos Ryan

Great video, learned not to press the pinion & driveline together when tightening the set screw, been doing that for years oops. Just built my diffs and will re do it, also had a very hard time getting the gear mesh, weird they need to break in, never experienced that before in a kit. One thing I do is add a little bit of fluid before dropping the first planetary gear into the cup to help fill up the weight saving indents on the backside of it, and then add fluid to the top one to fill those in.

Thanks Ryan. Really like the videos you do, and the info you share. Kyosho is very lucky to have you as a representative/driver. Best wishes for a great 2024 race season. p.s. I found that when building several MP10TKI2 e-buggy kits, that the diffs were a super tight fit (even to get a single 0.15mm shim in), and the gear mesh was also very tight no matter how i troed to shim. The gears broke in after a few packs, and were smooth after that. Interestingly, when I built several TKI3 nitro buggy kits, the diffs were not nearly as tight, and the gear mesh wasn't so tight and actually required a 0.15mm shim to get to a suitable mesh. I am guessing that there may be some slight variation between product runs. Anyway, the final outcome is that the gear mesh will break in pretty quickly if they feel a little tight and notchy, so I wouldn't worry about it (I actually prefer a slightly tighter diff gear mesh to avoid gear skipping, especially in truggy).

Is there an instance where you don’t use shims on the diff? My readyset didn’t have shims in the front or the rear. Everything runs smooth and doesn’t seem too loose.

Did the diff oil come with the Kit?
