Not sure if this was mentioned earlier before but has anyone noticed that the diff halves supplied in the kit are hard coated and the one purchased as replacement parts are not hard coated?

I have 2 diff halves that was purchased as replacement parts did not last as long as the kit supplied ones combined even with regular replacement of the C blades.

The other thing I noticed is the the color is also different. The kit ones are slightly darker in color probably caused by hard coating and the replacement parts are similar color with all other allow parts of the car.

I am interested in getting the ones supplied in the kit. Does anyone know of a part number specific to it?

There would only be one part number, but you could have been in a situation where the kit you bought was newer stock than the spare parts?.

TOP have made running changes to parts, like with the spur pulleys I got last week, which now come pre-glued and fit my kawada spurs with no mods.

What grease is reccomended for the ball diff...for the diff and the thrust bearings?

AE Diff lube works good, as well as NifTech.

Yup, AE diff lube for the diff and AE BLACK GREASE for the thrust
Do not use the diff lube for thrust, bad idea.

I use AE black on the thrust and AE clear on the other.. butter every time!

Got a complete set a while ago, front and rear. The rear ones are great, hardly any backlash at all when used with the top blades.
But the front ones are a different story, the coupling CVS is a little too big for the C-Hub opening and would hit the sides of the C-hub when turning sharp. I ended up dremeling out a larger opening for the C-hub. Also there is some rubber tubing that comes with them and you need to cut it very precisely to make up for the slop in the diff outdrive. I must've not cut precisely enough cuz I didn't even make it through one race, tagged a corner and the front ones blew up into millions of pieces.60 bucks down the drain.
But I've still got the rear ones on and they are great. Many many races and still very very minimal backlash.

What blew up the plastic pipe on the pins or the bone?
I have the spec r front ecs and love them i installed xray pins and C hubs and all is well. I have had some realy hard sweeper hits in spec class and still turning

Cool thanks guys...that's what I used...AE diff grease and AE black grease. The diff is very smooth but it felt like it had a little drag in it so I wanted to make sure the black grease wasn't too thick.

I haven't tried them all, but ever since I started using Schumacher diff grease, I haven't felt the need to try any other ones. That stuff works great.

I'm using TRF thrust bearing grease right now. There might be better grease, but it's what I've got and seems to work well enough. Is AE better for thrust bearing grease?

That's horrible. All the performance gains are suppose to be from the front shafts. At least that is what I thought. Have you contacted them on this?
