Today's questions are about diffs and servos...

Balll diff I've got a ball diff I use in my mini. It's kept clean and well lubed, but it's kinda crunchy. Any ideas as to why that might be? Maybe because it's tightened down quite a bit?

Gear diff I've heard of people shimming the gear diff for a mini. Any ideas as to what size of shim to use and where I might find some?

Essentially, I'd like to have smooth, predictable diff action, with a decent degree of lock up. Are those two thing mutually exclusive in minis?

Steering servo I read something this morning about someone using a mini servo in an M-03. I've tried this, but the servo is too small to reach between the two mounting points. Any ideas how I might accomplish this one? I thought about just building an adaptor of some kind, but haven't actually tried it yet.

Any ideas you guys have would be appreciated.

Thanks!
