If you want to cement them use this:

Otherwise just drill the outdrive and insert a roll pin close within the ID of the ring. Then take your dremel and notch the ring on the ID to match the roll pin. (like we use to do 20+ years ago)
Pinning creates a more consistent diff as gluing can lift the ring off of the outdrive on one side.

It's a shame that the Tamiya diff rings don't have a flat to match the one already moulded into the diff joints. My old Yokomo sedans all used a D-ring in the diff that eliminated any slippage issues like this.

CA works... for diff rings
scuff diff ring/diff half mating surfaces.. mate/tack diff ring/diff half together with just a dab of CA. once together, coat perimeter of assembly with a bead of CA.. (as you would seal the edge of carbonfibre chassis).. stong bond, can be easily separated with a sharp exacto blade..

The "diffing out" I refer to is when the inside drive wheel is lifting and spinning and not really a loss of traction (other than that one wheel getting lit up) and not a loose slipping diff either.
One tire fire, one wheel peel...
RtypeC tells me to stay smooth and let the car settle before pullin the trigger.
That is great advise and works, I have also found that for me, the swaybar seems to get it to settle quicker but too stiff of a swaybar takes away too much steering. I run the red/soft and sometimes the yellow/medium options.
As far as rubber cement goes, if the shoe goo type is not available, I'm almost positive that silicone gasket sealer will do it. It will stick, guaranteed and also be pliable.
You'll have to work to get it off for your next rebuild.

) and it was the lost grip making a similar sound. It may be because I run rubber tyres & the diff doesn't have such a large 'load' as both tyres let go at the same time?

I need hlep with the FF03 and gearing.
My motor is a 21.5 brushless and my esc is a Tekin RS (2.12 software).
What gearing works well?
I run parking lot and track races.
Thanks in advance.

No one can give someone else gearing suggestions anymore unless they are running exactly the same ESC, motor and ESC settings. Even two racers running a Tekin ESC can have completely different gearings because of the way they set up the ESC. GTB's are old school. Tekin , LRP, Hobbywing all have timing and turbo functions that can drastically change the gearing. For example a 21.5 motor with turbo function deployed could run a rollout of as low as 38mm . Far different to your 57mm.
As I said before, if he is running turbo etc then your suggestion would cook his motor. I was just giving a warning

I'm running mine with stock spur and 20T pinion with Team Powers 13.5T motor and Xerun 60A esc with turbo. The thing leaves black stripes out of all corners and temps are pretty low on motor. We run foams on our cars. I use Jaco 37 shore 26mm up front and Jaco 35 shore 30mm rears, uncut. Massive grip and plenty of power! 
Fun and fast!
