I generally get 3 to 4 runs in 6 cell and 4 to 5 runs in 5 cell out of my diffs in Mod. I run the AE silcone grease (one with black writing on the tube) and have tried the Schumacher silcone grease with no extended runs. I preferred the AE as IMO it made the diff feel smoother.
I have also compared the HPI thrust grease (Red cap) to AE black grease and there is no extended runs with either.
I'm currently testing the new
Jaad Racing Thrust and am happy to report that so far so good. I'm up to 10 runs so far and will be continuing with it today. It presently doesn't feel like a fresh diff any more, but is still smooth and not ready to be replace (all good).
