Default Rear Diff

Has anyone put heavy dif grease in the diffs?

If you have, has there been any leaks? I see its not a sealed diff so I did not make that move.

I feel if the diff grease was thicker I could get even power to both wheels.
There more power going to one wheel and this causes it to kick its tail out
under heavy power in a straight line.

other than that and the weak rear uper arms, the truck is simpley the best!

I took it to an offroad track with big jumps and love the way it jumps. very smooth!
clear triples and easy to control in the air.

I hope when I install my from brakes it helps even more.

I managed to take my diff apart and filled it with thick grease when re-assembling it. after 3 tanks of fuel its starting to leak out mainly over the cog so i dont see thats doing any harm just giving a bit of lubrication
