Noob question about differential rotation

[Iznapulipuli]

Hi guys, another beginner question I removed my front differential and when i'm rotating it, it seems that it doesn't take equal power to rotate the gear all the way around... You can feel the gears kinda touching each other most part but then there comes these "free zones" where both gears rotate but you don't need to apply basically any force. Is that normal or is something wrong with it? I haven't opened the differential, only pulled it out from the housing (i have 4x4 3s BRCC).

Is this a brand new diff? If so, they will loosen up in a pack or two. The plastic gears aren't molded with the highest precision.

Yes it is a brand new diff. So no need to worry or fix anything? The gears will wear themselves out at some point maybe? but no need/possible to fix anything or tighten something?
