rear diff mods ??

[pjabas]

what do you guys/gals run in your rear diff ? do you leave it open ?do you lock it with a spool or something ? do you just run with a heavy fluid ?? or grease ?? or what ?? pls share

just a few days ago i put silly putty in the rear and then filled the diff with grease :thumbs:

i run 2k oil

1k, but thats a buggy. What are you trying to do? Lock it?

[pjabas]

i know i can buy a spool for the rear end, but i heard it makes tight turns some what of a problem, i guess i wanna get a "posi" type action in the rear end

i want more traction, but i still want to turn , the silly putty locks it tight for a few minutes, untill is gets warmed up then its just a open diff,

On my buggy I run 5k 7k and 1k. On my truggy I run 7k 20k and 3k. Too thick in the rear will cause you to lose some steering on tight tracks.

You could use JB Weld if you want to lock it permanently

[pjabas]

yes thats true but with the silly putty i can take it out if i want

regular old wheel bearing grease for me, if i locked mine i would go thru 10 times more spur gears than i do now :rock:
