Default Help with Diff

Hi There Guy's
I have a big problem with my MSX diff's. I changed the front and rear pulley's to the TA05 wide pitch ones and there great. The broblem is when i put the diff's back together and raced the car the diff's are slipping. I adjusted them at the track but still slipping. I want to pull them appart today and rebuild them, can you guy's give me some advice on setting them up right please. I want so much to get the car running right. The instructions are no good in this area because all it say's is DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. DEEERRR
Any help would be great.
How do you guy's know when the diff's are just right.
Thank's Guy's

Did ya replace the diff balls? I tighten mine till snug and then back off 1/2 turn,,,check the diff balls first I think the 05 uses a larger ball being that the plastic is thicker in the middle of the pully,

Actually this isn't true, I replaced the stock MSX pulleys to the TA05 puleys and used the same size diff balls. When you check your diff, take 2 wrenches, stick one in each outdrive, hold the wrenches, and try to turn that middle pulley. It should be really hard to almost impossible to turn.

Yeah I was not 100% sure when I did my conversion my diff balls were pretty worn so I replaced with the parts # from the 05,,,,anyone ever tried ceramics in these?

Default Thank you All

Thanks So Much Guy's for your help. I have alway's used a one way and man was the car so much easier to drive with the diff in the front. The car is handling so well now and i still have a issue with keeping on the motor wires with the Orion V2, But besides that everything is great. I am so wrapped to get on here to ask advice from all you guy's. It really make racing so much better.
I hope you all have a great Christmas and god bless you all.
Regard's

One more thing.
I went to a bearing place and bought 100 ceramic 3mm bearings for $8.00 Australian dollars. The last time I paid $11.00 from a hobby store for 10 Tamiya 3mm Ball's.
Best wishes
