Importance of diff setting on RB6?

[Chris Elworthy]

I've recently bought an RB6 and was blown away with how forgining yet direct the car felt on its first practice. The car offered so much steering and didnt feel like it pushed at all. I managed to take TQ at the Bury Metro club Champs at the weekend and was loving every second.

My diff did seen to go gritty after just one meeting however, I put this down to the very high track temperature of last weekend thinning the diff greases so rebuilt the diff and returned yesterday. I now seem to be suffering from noticeable push into the corners which didnt seem to be helped regardless of whether I ran the diff looser or tighter. The diff still feels a little gritty so I intend to rebuild with new plates.

The only difference in setup was the diff setting, track conditions are now super dry and high grip astro due to the lack of rain but to be honest it was bone dry last weekend too. I also bolted on brand new tyres all round and felt about the same.

My mate who has been running the RB6 since Xmas managed to shatter a diff plate due to excess heat at the weekend too, has since rebuilt his diff and suffered the same issue again?



Could anybody shed some light on whether you have suffered similar issues and how to run the diff in super high bite astro...it's the North West Regional at Bury this Sunday so need all the help I can get.


Thanks
