Thanks I appreciate it. Another question lol do they sell this as a whole kit or do you have to order them individually? I was looking at the carisma website yesterday and they show a kit and it’s called
GT14 B Gear Diff Conversion Set would that be the same thing and it has a product number 15316
What you posted looks a lot closer to what he has in his video versus the ball diff pictured in the GT14b manual. Maybe that's not the correct model. What you pictured is just the planetaries internal to the case, it does not include the ring and pinion.
Hopefully one of the guys who said he completed this can chime in.
Ok thanks
The Carisma kit you posted
"GT14 B Gear Diff Conversion Set would that be the same thing and it has a product number 15316"
does have the metal diffrential gear internals needed to rebuild your diffrentials with metal internal gears. You may also want to order
"GT14 B/GTB Metal Gear Diff Seal Set".
When I rebuilt mine, after finding the information here that slick2500 provided, i found the ECX diff has seals and mine were well worn and tearing in the corners. Wanting to use some antiwewr grease &/or diff silicone, i went ahead and ordered a set, they sealed the newly rebuilt diffs up very well and fit perfectly.
Only gears that elude, as already stated by slick, are the diff ring gear and the bevel pinion input gear. So far mine have held up but I don't like thinking they may give out. I really like the truck. I flipped the rear A-arms over and around to get the shock protectors built into the A-arms facing the correct direction. I also upgraded tires to SpeedTreads, the shock mounts with tt-02s carbon fiber shock towers, used HBX all alloy shocks and a HyperGo body, and for running gear i have GTskyTEN 5900kv 2845 B.L. motor and 35a esc with a FlySky FS-G4P radio. The gears are literally the Achilles heel of this truck. Otherwise the only issue I have had is the screws in the rear holding the rear bumper down onto the rear diff upper ccver. Fixed it with some washers though, stopped the screw heads from.pulling through.
Yes, of course slick2500Do you happen to have any pics of how you added TT-O2 carbon shock towers?
I had 65mm shox on it and was using the many shox mount positions available with the tt02s shox mount, but needed the 65's for another project....my half dozen completely modified WLtoys a9x9 trucks/buggies. All are 3s and have C.F. chassis and mods like servo reversed to the other side of the car to allow room for full length LiPos. They are pretty much anything but XK anymore.Shock.protectors facing forward, i got the truck second hand so i don't know if they came backwards on the rear or were just backwards because someone flipped them? I used servo eyelets in the upper connecting rods to strengthen and provide less friction. Stock shox, just painted the shock bodies, added tamiya O-rings, and O-ring shock grease to prevent leaks and less friction. I love how it handles now, but I am currently working on adding Sway Bars. Completely ridiculous work done on a 1/18 plastic truck with butter diffs, but im cray cray that way!

I have had a feeling that could be it, but just wasn't sure , I read your parts list to replace the spur and such. Looks like I will be trying that. thank you SO MUCH for your reply! this lil ECX has really stolen my heart, handles so well my buddy (better driver than me) beat rc10.4 and kyosho Ultima with it in a grudge match on a rather short course at McDuff Park here in VA.. we laughed all the way to hobbytown as the bet was for a new reedy shorty LiPo!!!!I want to say it's the slipper as I know even all the way tight it still slips. I had nothing but trouble with the slipper in mine and I ended up modifying a Losi Mini 8 slipper to fit.
