You want to tighten it all the waydown. That will not lock it up, the balls will do the work.
If you dont crank it down, the diff will slip and you got it so that you are not slipping and losing power. You want the diff to put 100% of the power to the wheels, the diff will send the power to the front or rear as it's designed.
You use clear AE diff lube like any other ball diff and black grease in the thrust bearing same as the manualinstructs for the thrust bearing.
I found rcshox stuff to be for someone that can figure stuff out (not saying you can't).
The parts are grassroots stuff that a guy puts out and there's not a glossy manual that goes with it... you just gotta look at the parts, scratch your noggin and dig into it.
But they are parts that the big names with glossy manuals are not putting out.
I got my rcshox parts assembled with marcus' quick replies and others on the rcshox thread. But happy to have them.
