Default Diff Building..

Im interested to know how people build there diffs!!

Ive searched on here and there seems to be a few different methods?

I clean thoroughly, use schu silicone diff lube on the balls, then put a thin layer on the plates..(is this too much) for the thrust race i use black teflon grease..

I get my diffs nice and smooth, but not as free as some ive tried..

Ive read on here somewhere you should get as free as a geared diff with no slip..

Also do people "wet&dry" the diff plates?

For setting.. tighten till you cannot physically turn the gear with your fingers?? Then in the car, tighten slipper.. then set so no " bark " both for front and rear..(any suggestions on checking for the front only?) then set slipper with about foot of slip...?? With doing it this way, should i then be able to hold the spur and say one rear wheel, then turn the opposite rear wheel and see the slipper slip?

Cheers

Nick

if the tracks loose low grip we run them slightly tight, if its high grip we back em of a touch,
