I wouldn't use the black grease in the diff-- too sticky, can use that in the thrust bearing though-. Use the clear stuff-Ae or like--I order mine from Bfast-comes in a handy injector thingy..

I've got about a good year on the same B-fast Pro ball diff kit in my Ultima SC, and it look's like new. I however did not use the grease from B-fast. I used a mechanical grease. Extreme pressure "Sta-Plex" Premium Red Grease
it has a 500 deg drop point, which for us is a good thing. It means that the grease will stay where you want it. I first used it in my Baja diff, and never looked back. It is now in all my drive cup's , diff's anywhere it need's some lube!!!!!

I ran B-Fast diff balls and rings for a whole year in both of my Kyosho RB5-SP and RT5. I used the B-Fast Pro diff lube and diff Pro grease in my diffs.

I would every two to three months. take the diffs apart. Clean and relube diff balls and clean and put new grease in thresh bearing.

Put the diff back in and break in your diff like they where brand new.
Your good to go

Yes, the P66 Here will get you B-Fast Diff Rings. Thrust Races and Carbide Diff & Thrust Balls.
The MIP ball diff for the Blitz uses the Associated T4/B4 configuration.
