Thanks for the links.

But they want $10 for something so small and domestic I like how it says 20G and then charges me for 100g weight. too bad speedtech is sold out.

Did you find the Schumacher grease to have any magic? Did you find it to be similar to other grease that is more easily obtainable?

Try the Kyosho ball diff grease it's great.

Their grease is unique the best I can tell. It's consistency is more like... jello or something. I definitely prefer the stuff over what I've used in the past, and I think it was only like $4 from Schumacher USA once I managed to track it down.

Jilles video is pretty spot on I think. I use the tiniest amount of Tamiya anti-wear grease on the back side of the rings to stick them to the outdrives. I think what he's using is even more sticky than that, but I wasn't able to figure out what it is.

Man, BBB and Sydor in the 416 thread! This is crazy!

He's using Tamiya Hard Grease.
If I'm correct, it is usually used on the damper discs on t-bar 1/12 pan cars.

I always run the Schumacher grease in my 416 diff, its does seem to stay in the diff and not fly out like some of the more runny diff grease thats available.
As Syndrome says its cheap too!

I don't like using two types of greese in a diff, so I just hold the rings on using diff greese... As it's only working by stiction, the substance behind the diff rings shouldn't matter, but I don't like the thought of having the two types near by with a potential to mix. However, when your building the diff, don't CA the rings in place... a friend did this and wondered why his diff didn't feel too good, the rings didn't sit flat at all...
Anyway the schuey stuff deffiently works well, seems to stay very consistent within the diff, and not fling out either.

hmm, guess I'll just suck up the shipping...

I use rubber cement to keep the diff rings on the outdrives. I recall that it still slipped with diff grease...

Any thoughts on the three extra balls for the pulley?

Hello guys. Someone can say me what is the "real" difference between all the 416 main chassis and lower upper deck.

Thanks for your help.

honestly, never had it slip with the diff greese... rubber cement is a badddddd thing to use, honestly, don't use it!
One trick to help (and this is something I pointed out to the friend i was showing how to build a diff), is too sand both sides of the diff ring. a) this gets it flat both sides, and b) it provides a key for the ring to grip against the outdrive. I'll go 600grit on the outdrive side, but 1200grit+ on the ball side.

As for the extra balls, I can't see them making a huge difference in a lighterweight TC. Yes the loadings going through the diff can be quite high, but not as much as when a 4wd buggy lands of a jump on full beans IMO, I wouldn't bother, but maybe something to try out

hey guys on the diff stuff... when i build my diff or that of fellow racers i always use 600-800 grit sandpaper, but i use something more coarse for the other side to help adhere better to the outdrive. im 100% sure that its perfectly flat after sanding the two sides so after all that my diffs are silky smooth and function flawless
