Up to about 30 runs now on the Vorza cups. I noticed the ring gear side bearing had some lateral play between the inner and outer sleeves on the front diff, so I swapped it out. While I was in there I decided to degrease the internals and give them a close inspection. I compared the used internals to some new ones and there was no discernible difference, even at the highest magnification my camera would allow. Guess that lithium grease works WELL!

There was a very slight amount of scoring inside the cup from the spider gear shims spinning, but not enough to warrant replacing the cup. I also noticed a small chip in one of the slots (probably from an air bubble getting into the mold during manufacturing. Just for kicks I replaced the grease with some STP Oil Treatment before I sealed it back up . . . curious how that will do.

Gear on Left is new, gear on right has ~30 runs
