Gonna try w/ 100k silicon fluid.. so it is not the thickest (I have seen 300k fluid.. ha!) but should be plenty limited slip, though...

Just need to make sure that it won't leak... I got some RTV gasket making material.. so I think I should be able to seal the diff housing pretty well.. I am not even sure if I need to use RTV.. maybe just thick grease around the housing before I close it up would be enough... we will see... !

That should help it to become less touchy, but to be honest, it doesn't look too bad. I have been in real snowcats before, and yours seems less touchy than those. Are you going with the thickest type?

Status: offline 		i like the drilled disc's, very stylish! i hope my Blizzard comes soon, the weather is getting colder.. might order my bearings/motor just in case.

ive just received a message from my ebay Blizzard seller, and he is saying Kyosho have discontinued the model i purchased, so he cant proceed with the order, where do i stand on this?

No, I didn't get one....
