The gears are very small in the LD3......120,000wt translates to around 30,000-40,000wt on a normal RR diff!!

I am using 100,000wt, but might have to try that sticky junk you guys have.
Mugen Super Grease....very nice stuff.....for those "sticky" situations!!!

I'm gonna pick up a rear spool to try as well, see what works..
Be prepared to scarifice a shell in your testing...(I did)...however, once you get the hang of it then it is pretty wild....the car corners on the throttle finger.....not the steering wheel!!! However, you do need a track with lots of traction!

No understeer if you don't let go of the throttle!!! Although on quick switch backs the car will feel very DEAD.....
