What do you suggest the diff be filled with? I could fill it with bearing grease or something really heavy. LOL

This might also help with the leaking problem.

It comes filled with 500k, and people still say that's way too thin. The problem is it only has 2 spider gears instead of 4 like in normal 1/8 diffs. Less gears means less ability for the viscous oil to apply resistance.

People have tried all kinds of diff lock greases and thick stuff in it. I'm not sure how successful they've been though. It sounds like 1/8 hybrid is the way to go if you want a CD. I'm only speaking from what I've read, but once I build mine I'll let you know how it works.

Not to argue w/you Jason but the CD comes w/100K, I had to buy 500K to refill mine and it was much thicker than the stock fluid.

Is 500K about the thickest fluid you can go with?

I think 500k is pretty close to max as far as silicone oil. I know there are several "diff lock" products on the market, but I think they are more like greases/pastes/putty.

EDIT: According to some other forum posts I just read there is 750k and 1M weight silicone oil, but it's kind of tough to find.

Trying to start $h1t with me huh? That's it, I'm coming back down there to have some words with you.

Bondo is right it's 100k. But someone should tell Impakt RC:
