Traxxas T-Maxx Diff Rebuild 

Awesome info, I just got an old T MAxx as a gift and it was every bit as filthy as what you had there, slowly taking it all apart and learning what's what. awesome how people share this info, truly great. Thanks.

Great instructional video. In the process of rebuilding my T-Maxx 2.5 that's been in storage for 6 years. Factory grease in the cups turned into TAR. (Don't store your RC's in 100+ heat in the desert.)

Awesome Video. Refurbing my Original Tmaxx Pro .15 Nitro and this came in hand.

I'm ready to start rebuilding my T Maxx 3.3. You have inspired me. Thank you

Great video thanks for breaking it all down and showing me help me out now just need to watch the sealed barring one

Nice tutorial! very easy to follow!

Nice video. Very easy to follow!! Only difference is my slash 4x4 has sealed diffs.

almost thought you weren't gonna add grease when you mentioned lube haha. Thanks for the video well done

great video, Im learning something today kkeep up good work

This is just great must see video!

Nicely Done!!!

I got it. At least you have a skill to all fixed up and clean up nicely.. It will be years for me to get there :) BTW, I will check it out the site.. Thank you again,

Very nice video. Thank You

I own Mini e-revo and I love every second. However, I broke electric part a few days ago (I think it is either ESC or Receiver) so I am going to try fix this weekend.. Anyway, I am looking for get 1/10 scale one aside from that and I was thought about either slash or T-Maxx and so I am learning ahead.. Again, I am newbie and your video is one of the best video that I've been seen and even though I don't have one, I can easily understand and apply to other one when I am needed.

Thank you!

I rebuilt my differentials last week. I put CVT Transmission oil in them. They are not sealed differentials, so I just put a little bit enough to keep them moisten, but without any leaks.

great video. thanks for the tips, im gonna clean up my diff cuz it doesnt spin that freely.

My tmaxx I just put back together when you spin the rear tires the front tires spin in the opposite direction therefore keeping it from freespining do you know what I done wrong or what is causing this?

great video, big help. I have a problem with my E Maxx. I continue to knock driveshafts out of its sockets connected to the diffs. It started after i melted the stock drive shafts and replaced them with the Traxxas steel drive shafts. If you can help me please let me know.

please help i cant reconnect the axles to the differentials and i didn't even take the differentials apart

i did this to the same truck but 3.3 trx just 5 years later... the grease was disgusting it was like very thick glue. thanks so much. im completely rebuilding

Need help with a first time owner Not getting the Traxxas tmax running

Cleaned up my differential and reassembled. Spun it and noticed the metal gears didn't have the correct meshing. I notice on the exploded view of the differential. There's a Teflon Bushing that goes into the cup. Traxxas Part #3981 (Traxxas Teflon Washer 6x9.5x0.5mm). Installed the bushing, now my gears mesh perfectly.

I just bought a Stampede last week and I am getting leakage out the side of the front diff. That and when I took it apart everything appeared to look just fine. Diff oil was way black. I didnt replace it I didnt have any at the time. But upon reassembly the output shafts had a bit of restriction on them. Im just a bit concerned about that. That and any tips on keeping it from leaking?

I've replaced the rear diff on my T Maxx 3.3. The wheels spin while off the ground but when the model in on the floor it doesn't move. I have checked all grub screws on the driveshafts. If I put all left, right, front or back wheels they will spin freely on the ground but not all together. I'm thinking that it has a gearbox problem. What do you think?

it seems as though someone before me has put the diffs in backwards because my truck is in reverse, has this happened to anyone before. should i swap them around>?

I don't have a parts washer so if i used water + washing up liquid, how to I prevent the metal from rusting from the water. I know this may be an obvious question but I'm not sure.

Hey Tony whatelse can you use if you dont have trinity bearing oil

So can u use diff oil for cars in a sealed rc diff?

Can I use a 3.3 dif on 2.5

My Diff are sealed can I still use grease instead of oil

FYI: Both front and rears did not have this washer installed. T-Maxx Classic owners, check your differentials. The old saying, This may have been assembled on a Friday or Monday. LOL!!

You must have grease/oil in your diffs.

Mine don’t spin like that without the lube. Why

Tip: never clean one diff and not the other. One of the diff will take too much pressure and strip the inside gears.

Thank you!
