How to Fix Differential on Rlaarlo AM-X12
Yep - I broke it!
Rlaarlo AM-X12 buggy took a big hit at the skatepark and snapped a rear differential cup.
Here is a quick video on how to fix it!
You can source the parts for the buggy straight from Rlaarlo: rlaarlo.com/collections/rlaar...

Thank you! Merry Christmas!
I've done this before on my Rlaarlo buggy, but took the tie rod and shock off as well. Glad to have found this video, as I now see that I was doing more work than necessary to access the diffs. Thank you!

@@RoadsideRC I bought the am-d12 and it sounds like some gear slippage when accelerating from a complete stop. As I mentioned before I’m new to the RC world looking for some answers my most recent video gives examples of the sound I’m talking about feel free to check it out and comment what you think is going on if you have time!
Thanks Troy, I have the same one, thanks for the video. I really appreciate your time and effort.

Very helpful thank you cause im just getting back into the hobby after a few years owned mainly Traxxas vehicles but you really can't beat these relaarlor brand Rc's at this price point and plus the parts availability ive been able to find online along with upgrades so i will most likely be buying this particular buggy.

Very useful video thank you! Also helps me figure out replacement parts I should get when buying this AM-X12 in case something breaks so I don't have to wait for delivery! Any other recommendation on parts I should get or where to get them in so that I can fix the car when needed? Thanks!

What if all 4 wheels aren't spinning? I just put my AM-X12 back together after some cleaning and maintenance. Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out where I went wrong and why the drive shaft isn't engaging when I rotate the front or rear wheels in the same direction.

I would suggest starting from the motor side of the driveline. When you spin the motor - follow the driveline path. See when things stop moving - that will give you a clue for what is wrong.

@@RoadsideRC ended up being a super easy fix. Grub screw on the drive shaft was loose. Funny how that works out after scratching my head for a good hour and taking everything apart twice.

I'm curious about something and maybe you can help.. I'm looking for an ESC programming card that is compatible with the 45A ESC in this Rlaarlo. I was going to buy a cheap Surpass Hobby card off of Amazon and give it a try, and just send it back if it's not compatible, but figured I would see if you can maybe steer me in the right/better direction. Thanks!

Sorry, I never even attempted to try to program this. Instead of using Amazon in that way, how about you just email Rlaarlo and ask? They usually are pretty responsive to messages.

Hi new subcriber I've got a new rlaarlo could you tell me if the diff is ment to make that noise when manualy turning the 4wd has I thought it should feel smooth I've got a video clio of the noise if you need to hear it thankyou

Hi Thomas. Unfortunately, I am not sure what noise you are talking about, so it is hard for me to answer. As long as the car is driving fine, I would assume it is OK.

Yeah, mine broke in the same spot. Of course I did about 20 cartwheels on the crash before it broke the next crash was mild, and that’s when it actually broke. Go figure. Lol.
