XRAY - Model racing cars

Picked up a multi-diff today, and assembled it as a locked one-way.

Perhaps I assembled it incorrectly... there is enough play in the outdrives that they can slide out past the center shaft piece while running turning the diff into a standard one way.

Did I assemble it wrong? Or is there a piece of instruction missing? Such as insert something between the dogbone and the outdrive such as an o-ring or foam?

Thanks

Did you add the spacer ???
shown below



one on each side

Yes on both sides.

With those spacers there is still enough room for the outdrives to slide out abit, and off the end of the shaft inside.

I haven't had that problem, I have ran mine as the 'spool' so the pin is preventing it from moving.
Maybe someone else could comment so we can understand the problem

Yes!!!! At last someone else has noticed this problem. I had noticed it the first time I ran the car with this 'coupled one-way' and haven't used it since as it changes during the race.

I have been trying to coime up with a fix for this problem but I can't seem to come up with anything that will hold the outdrives in the multi-diff.

Anyone else?

I had that problem at first too. I just took a couple of rubber "O" rings and put them in the outdrive shaft to keep it from sliding as much. Seems to work fine now.

The play is ok.

Mario how can the play be ok if the diff changes from a locked one-way to a standard one-way while the car is running?

Each time I take the car off the track I have to push the outdrives in to lock the one-way.

I also am considering the o-rings or some small pieces of foam in the outdrives to keep them pushed further into the one-way unit. I just wondered if I had put it together wrong.

Ahh...I missunderstood your original post. So your problem is that the connecting joint (the hollow piece that connects both outdrives into a solid one-way) will fall out?
