James, if you can bottom the screw out and still get the diff to slip, you are doing something majorly wrong.
1. compress a new spring with pliers if needs must (never have with Tamiya ball diffs)
2. as little grease as you can get away with
3. never run a slipping diff
4. erm.... thats it really
Seriously guys, if you run the diff and it starts to slip, tighten it ASAP as all you will do is screw the diff up.
James, have you glued the diff rings to the diff halves as that might stop your diff slipping, tightening it harder will just gouge your diff plates. I know Millzy blew my rear diff on the weekend, but I had just rebuilt it and not had a chance to bed it in, he run it without adjusting it, it slipped and blew the pulley. Simple really.
