Ian_Gsi16V 533 Posted January 15, 2018 I'm troubleshooting an issue with my TA01 that seems to cause it to be very tight when running, always sounds like something isn't quite as free as it should be, I've rebuilt the ball diff and it all seemed ok but tbh, I'm not entirely confident I could diagnose a not ok one. Is it possible to run a normal 3 cog one similar to the front so I can rule it out? I've got a good few of them spare but no ball diffs to test with Any help greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ann3x 220 Posted January 15, 2018 The F/R diffs on the TA-01/02 are interchangeable, you can run ball or gear in either end as you like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian_Gsi16V 533 Posted January 20, 2018 Earlier this week I replaced the ball diff for a regular one, this appears to have got rid of the grinding noise I could hear and it runs far better. It's running a standard silvercan for now until I'm happy it's running 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason1145 3984 Posted January 28, 2018 Cool good luck with the project and hoping you fixed that rear diff issue... I know where I stand with a geared diff but a ball diff is still trial and error for me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a vintage Yokomo Pro Stock motor on its way to me. I'm fairly certain the ball diff in this is simply knackered, I've rebuilt the one in my TA02 Pre Runner many times over the years and never had an issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
