Default 22 diff slipping?

Hi, I have just started to run my 22 and have noticed that the diff is slipping when used on carpet. I have tightened the slipper/spur nut as far as it will go but I am still getting the slipping noise.

Any ideas for a cure on this as I am sure its not normal lol

Thanks for your help

Have you tried tightening up the diff? You dont want the slipper done right up tight.

Hi

I wouldnt say the diff nut is butter-like, but if you are worried about stripping the standard diff nut have a look at the Gen 2 diff nut from TLR.

As for setting up the diff and slipper, have a look here;

Hopefully this will help you to get it right

I put a small amount of CA on the nut before dropping it in the plastic insert. It doesn't have to be super tight if it had a good "break-in".

I still think ball diff are good but I really enjoy the gear diff now as I don't have to deal with slipping issues anymore.
