I have watched guys REALLY abuse them and not break.. Hell Watched George race them in hardcore almost empty and crashed hard a few times and no issues.

honestly from my experience with losi, better off buyin a new part, they gave me the run around and did didly squat, but other guys had good luck with them, doesnt hurt to try

A buddy of mine said he had a 4s starter box lipo go bad on him or something and they ask for a picture of it with the wire cut right to the lipo so you cant use it again and they sent him a brand new one

hopefully i show them the pic and new smart diff haha

How old are the outdrives? I have broken a few but they have been run for a season and were stressed and getting worn out.

I bought brand new smart front and center diffs tuesday from great hobbies. Today was the first actual race day with them in the buggy.

I snapped one last week as well, however after taking a closer look at it I know it was when I crashed hard, must have extended the driveshaft to a point where it poped out and wedged inbetween the cup and the force of it spining must have sheared it off the ball cup. Note this is the first one I have broken since they were released and I run them in every car.

If I were you I would send the diff cup back to Losi, not the entire smart diff. Send it to:

Horizon Hobby
4105 Fieldstone Rd.
Champaign, IL
61822
United States
Product Repair Centre

They have a cool thing now online where you can track the status of your repair. Saves having to call! Hope this helps.

do you think the crash that broke your shock shaft had anything to do with it? if not then running with a broken shock could have allowed the suspension to compress way more than normal causing the drive shaft to pry up on the outdrive breaking it

I don't think so but its quite possible running with a broken shock did the trick lol I'll call horizon up monday if they want me to ship stuff guess ill have too if they wana just send me outdrives that cool

[skidoos]
