Hi I use FUCHS - TITAN Race CVJ Grease the grease itself is for Rally Applications, 1 of its main propertys is to relieve pressures between metal contact areas, I have used it a few times on my 1/5 losi in the F/R diffs and also all of the sealed CV's and Dog Bones. Its avail on ebay can be pricey for 500g but well worth it in the long run. Do a bit of research into it and see what you think, Hope this gives you something else to tryYes, maybe that's what happened. Actually I used "only" 3 shims total internally for the diff (not including the 13x16 shims for the outdrives). I used "only" (2) 3.5x12x.2mm shims on the planetary gears (Arrma already has 4 planet gear shims in the diff) & I ended up using "only" (1) 5x18x.2mm shim on the satellite gears (just on the crown gear side). Not sure about earlier models, but on the V3 diffs, you definitely don't want to have to take the satellite gear off the diff cup end, especially if you don't have to. It is extremely tight to get off the outdrive. However, the good news is, I found the diff does not like a 5x18 shim behind the satellite gear on the diff cup end (too tight & notchy), so should not have to remove this to shim?
I would like to hear what other members have found when shimming the new V3 diffs.
What is everyone using for "GREASE" between the external diff gears (between the 43T Spiral Diff Crown Gear & 10T Main Input Gear?) I have lots of Mobil (automotive/industrial) high performance 100% synthetic grease. It is white color, but looks like it would be good to use for this purpose? What do you think?
