giftacrylic · **Sluggish Diff -** 09.07.2005, 09:28 PM

Just installed new diff - FLM cups and gears, Integy Diff Cases, stock spiders

After carefully assembling and shimming, using 5K oil in the cup, Traxxas grease on the ring and pinion, the gears seem sluggish and do not rotate as easily as the heavily used stock diff. I have no binding (except for 1 tight spot in 1 diff) and have shimmed carefully leaving almost no play.

Will this loosen up after a few runs?
Will it affect performance?

Experienced input appreciated.................
