Guaranteed this question has been answered a gazillion times before so just bare with me. Trying to get some ideas on what people are using to slow down the diff action on gear diff's that I can get locally in my area.

If you're talking about the stock gear diff, then add some Tamiya AW grease, and one or two extra of the large washers.

Spurcheck, simple answer is as per Gigaplex's reply (above). However it's hard to properly answer without more information on what the diffs are that you can get locally. But if you can get a 3Racing or a Spec-R oil filled gear diff then you can tune it with different weight oil...and there's no easy answer then. Oil diffs are tuned to your own style and setup preferences. Anything from 1 million weight (basically locked) down to 2000 weight (not much more than a kit diff with AW grease).

This thread covers both the M03 and M05 chassis, so you're in the right place!
