Arrow diff

The blutac method is a rather extreme one in some cases, although some of our lads have found that the diff will still counter rotate under load just a lot less than a standard oiled set up. The stock traxxas planetaery diffs have a tendency to shred quickly when run in anger with just diff lube in them.

Ultimately I think its down to how much diff slip you feel you want, if your lacking straight line throttle pick up of the mark then locking the little bugger with def sort that. If you just want to 'calm' the back end down a bit then a super heavy diff oil (perhaps tamiya?) Will help.

I found both methods work well,just watch those temps the tighter you go on your diff

Let me know how your experiments go,I'd be interested to know how you get on
