Likewise, went tamiya Frog to Hotshot then on to the original Schumacher Cat, stopped racing in 1988 and only got back into it in 2009.

Ok, cougar is up and running, racing at Tiverton, but the diff, arrrrgh, keeps coming loose, tighten it up and the main gear still spins, tighten some more, still comes loose, tried it both ways!!

Help please, is there an idiots guide to building a diff?

your cir clip in the centre of the diff is probaly not tight in the groove making the diff slip put a flat blade screw driver between the ends of the clip and turn the screwdriver to push the clip apart. untill you cant rotate the clip in the groove.
