???

Is a diff to tight or to loose when you hold the spur gear and one back wheel fixed, and try to turn the other back wheel and it turns but is reasonably hard to turn........

or is this just right???

i specificaly wanted to know how it should feel when the diff is in a totally assembled car..


thanks......

Try to build it so the diff action is super smooth and free but its nearly impossible to get it to slip. I run mine so it slips right before the rear belt skips
