Pack the gear diff. with anti wear grease, works great on tightning up the action.

Yep, just pack it til it's full and you'll see a big difference and it's legal to

Drkucho, I think the gear diff. with the awg is just as good as the balldiff. and less maintenance.

Hey Tony Gray, where is the Tamiya M01-M02 HPI Carbon Fiber conversion chassis at on your site? You can use it on fwd, rwd, or 4wd using 2 gearboxes and I figured you had one somewhere.

Biz,
had one years ago...but sold it off (stupidly....) And yes I acknowledge that was an insane act.
Have been looking to find another but they're rather thin on the ground. I found one on ebay about 18 months back but once the bidding hit $150 I lost interest!

Sneaky! And you know I'm very tempted of course.....
And everybody else, stop drooling, the deal has been done. It's MINE!!!

K-Models/Kai used to, but that was about 2 years ago. Don't think they do now, and their website appears to be dead.
