    3s and center diff ?

    Will running 3s and center diff destroy the center diff? I know my slash 4x4 1/10 will kill it. The same true for 1/16??

    Have two 3S 1600mAh and ran them in parallel with a Center-Diff @100K oil.
    I only have run the 3S for like ~10 charges yet. But have numerous additional 2S 2200mAh packs through it.
    So far the diff hold up well.

    Will probably maintain the diff for the first time in one week, when my 500K oil arrives. Will check for wear and tear then.

    Been running my 2 x 3S 1400mah lipo's in with parallel connector for some time with the center diff and no problems. I have the Associated 100000cst fluid in them as Traxxas oil was out of stock.

    Its one of the best upgrades, especially for tarmac use as it just drove on its back wheels the whole time.

    I had bought an extra transmission, one would be stock and the other with a center diff with 100k oil
    thought I would switch back and forth. The first time I hit the throttle with the center diff I hated it. The crazy wild revo was more civilized needless to say put the stock trans back in and converted my spare back to stock
    Now I keep that one in my bag as a backup

    Oh and with a 2 cell it would still wheelie but then all the power would transfer to front wheels and balloon my taped tires and go nowhere fast!
