I use the stock rings. Dont think the sanded rings from Bfast are worth it. I dont think MIP preps the rings either.

I put the Bfast kit in mine and gotta tell ya man, I have never had a smoother diff in my life. Have run a half a dozen races on it and it is still as smooth as glass. Have been very pleased with mine.

For anyone wondering about diff rings, I purchased this awhile back.

It's expensive at first, but if you like to rebuild a lot, or like to have spare diffs, a lot of cars, etc, I think it's worth it.

The BFast setup is nice for the initial purchase, but with this kit you essentially can do the same thing over and over. The paper will last a long time. I've done dozens of rings on the same sheet and the cross-hatch comes out looking the same every time.

layout..track..:weird: what do you guys even call that carpet..clay.....carclay.:confused: what kind of motor configuration do you use on that? 4 gear w/ RM?

I know you guys that run there are gonna think I'm being a complete ass but I don't get the point of a clay track that has all the jumps made of wood and carpet...I just don't get it, please explain the why??

they make their money off dirt oval. The track is converted to offroad with the wooden jumps, but its oval first offroad secondary. I am confused by oval as well. But those crazy guys on the east coast.

cool, and ya not exactly cheap for some but it might help stop the NSA from asking so many questions as to why I have NO finger prints..:lol:


Ya I know use an out drive to sand rings. It was a joke....unless you're the NSA:ha:

Won't find many dirt oval fans in this thread for sure but ok that explains it.

I raced dirt oval for years. And it really is huge fun! I grew up in the age of the original Dominator running Top Flight 9 turns on 7 cells.....I'm dating myself now, gotta go..:lol: I was too young and broke to run that class then, but man they were fast!! for the early 90's.

And if they're cash cow is dirt oval they need to tap into it! Have you guys seen the price of a basic dirt oval car (any class) lately! You don't go dirt oval racing on the cheap these days!

Not on the level that would equal a mod 2wd or 4wd off road buggy anyway.

I really like the Bfast rings, but you can sand rings yourself, it just takes time to get them flat.

Get a diff ring holder from

wait for it..wait for it.....someone is gonna come in and say there's NO reason to sand a stock $2 AE ring because they're laser flat to begin with..:tire:

:lol:

I'm just saying I've burned my finger tips down to MI5 standards and still had moon craters with 400 grit...but that's me. I must have gotten a bad set.

Maybe Tame Blueberry...

Hmm...I'm really liking that. Might have to make my own. :D

Racer1812 - you got the answer already...yea oval racing is big there...I'm just happy to have a place to run that's 112mi from my house. :cry:

Man we need a track closer to home. If I ever win the lottery I have the building picked out and it's gonna be awesome.

I just use the female diff outdrive to hold the ring when sanding.

Yeah Racing has one too:

What I like about that one is the the diff setting tool. No more struggling with holding two hex drivers in the outdrives with one hand while testing the diff with the other.
