Official Mugen MBX5T Thread

That's the way I was taught to fill diffs Czech. Thought maybe there is something different about the Mugen.

the difffs leak lmao

[chickenfarmer3]

just a little....fill to the top and it takes longer....LOL

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

that would make them leak faster dumass

[chickenfarmer3]

no....dumbass...when there is less fluid in there it heats up and breaks down faster making it leak out.......since when do you run mugen diffs in your TTTURD?

[Casketman]

Mine dont seem to leak much. The middle did,but since I put longer screws in there. It seems to be doing fine.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

lap: no dumass when you overfill them it actually will pressurize more, forcing the oil up against those teeny o-rings alot harder, then when it diffs out there is no where for the oil to go so it comes out the shaft. Why do u think u grease the shafts before u put them in? DUH man if ur gonna bust my balls atleast be right would u? LMFAO

[Casketman]

See mike,he didnt know about greasing those things. Why do you think they have froze up on him twice now

My mugen diffs never leaked did they change something since the old MBX5's?

there is an o-ring you are supposed to leave out of the diffs, did you guys do that? I remember reading up on that and the dude I bought my car from had already did the diff massage and mine never leaked.

[Sh1nn3r]

Fill the diffs 80% full or until the gears and cross pins are coverd that is all

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

the MBX5 diffs leaked worse, most guys sanded the case and used two gaskets

[pwnzor]

heres mine so far...............still got some stuff left to do, it was a very easy / smooth build, I am very pleased with the quality

[Casketman]

I sanded mine. Only one gasket. No small O-rings. Just the 2 larger ones for the outdrives.

that's the mod I was talking about!

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

i dont see why u wouldnt use the small orings that go on the outdrives, doesnt make sense to me that that would make the diffs leak more.....never had diff leaking issues must be a TTR thing

[HAGASAN]

My T-maxx never leaked either, just blew up every tank.

Hey Douche bag! These orings dont seal anything... All they do is add friction inside the diff.. they make 5k diff oil feel more like 7k. Putting them in just complicates diff oil setups...

Similar to a TTR then!

[chickenfarmer3]

there goes mike putting foot in mouth again.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

that doesnt sound right but whatever. Dont hate cuz u gotta fill diffs every qual lmao

[chickenfarmer3]

LOLLOLOLOLOL........whatever....LOL

[pwnzor]

i single gasketed mine, with no s3's, but I did use the s5's everywhere they were called for, the build went really smooth until last night when my dog stepped on my parts tray and sent shizzle flying, I lost 2 o-rings for shocks, so the build was halted at that point, then after 4 hrs of searching, I found them and was able to do shocks, heres the latest stage its in, i need a new servo arm for t/b linkage, get my engine bought from Chad, and put my pipe on and a few other things, and Im ready to rock

[Meatwad]

looking good dude

[rocco79]

nice bro
