    Loose center diff

    So I got a center diff for my rally/slash lcg and it wiggles around once it is installed. Is this normal or no? If not how do I fix it?

    If it slides forward/backward about ¼", this is normal play in the center shaft. If it wobbles side to side in the motor bearing, you could need bearing and motor mount.

    It wobbles side to side and was just installed and hasn't been run yet with it, so I dont know how the motor mount or bearing could already be trashed.

    Check to see if the play is in the -bearing to mount- or if its loose from -bearing to center diff-. Could be as simple as a bearing swap or the center diff may be faulty ........ I didn't suggest you trashed anything here, just trying to help. I have had bearings that just did sit correctly on my slipper, motor plate, slipper adapter, axles.... lots of variables to consider hear. Do you have an extra bearing, just to take a shot at a possible bad fit?

    YAY!!!!! FOUND OUT WHY!!!! Turns out the bearing pulled a disapearing act and completely disapeared. Still puzzled on what happened to it
