What viscous diff fluid are you guys running in your gt's center diff? I got my car used and would like to change the fluid out for some fresh stuff.

Stops power being lost to front wheels during accereration which will give you masses of wheel spin and torque steer...

I have used rubber silicone to lock diffs on many vehicles but not on anything this powerful should I use JB weld instead? I also found some 50k in my toolbox

I need a spool for my Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Pro carbon rallygame conversion, I know the diffs and diff gears are interchangeable with Kyosho inferno items and I am already running Kyosho spurs so using a kyosho spool seems like a much easier way to go than making my own which I though I was going to have to do.


Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Pro carbon, Mega 22/30/2, MMM, 4s3-5Ah.
Tamiya F201 carbon, Mamba 7700, MM, 2s A123 2.3ah.
Xray XT8, 1518, MMM, 4s5Ah.
Lots of boats.

Kyosho spool should fit fine. Hot Bodies, 777/IGT/ST-R Kyosho, Jammin, and most Ofna diffs are pretty close in size. You'll always need a few shims anyway.

I am going to be using a Slipperential so if I'm going to lock it I need a temporary solution that can be removed at some point if I turn the car back into a buggy. Does the Ofna Diff Lock lube work any good?
