Just did a hpi bulletproof set in a gh savage bulk and they do feel a bit tight in places when you rotate them. I also use synthetic grease on those gears. Given the vay lst diffs are sealed, some gear oil or oil stabilizer could be used for lubrication. Keeping a thin layer of oil on the gears will cut down wear and drag alot. I wish the savage gears were sealed in a case like the lst...

Yes I think you're right. I haven't put the diff back together but was trying out some shims and could definitely get it a bit tighter than it was - You may have convinced me to get it even tighter. I was concerned that shimming the pinion was causing it to just barely rub against the diff cup - but since I'm using a plastic hd diff cup, it shouldn't be a problem. I also use synthetic grease inside the lst diff case.
Thanks for your input.
