The Diff unit bought separately comes unassembled so there is no oil in it.

I started off with 3k but on high grip tracks found it was twitchy when putting power down out of tight corners, went up to 5k and it is a lot more settled and accelerates and brakes like nothing else on the track, I had to turn brakes down a lot as it was just making the slipper squeal and locking back wheels up!

I used green shock slime on the outdrive o rings when building and had no issues when binding, but I also ran the diff in by putting one wheel on the ground and letting power through the loose wheel and alternating it starting with low power and building up.

Never looked back since fitting it, highly recommended and loads more rear end grip, even on frost covered astro, plus it dials out some of the excessive steering the 22 is plagued with.
