This is okay for blinky, but without that grove the diff needs to be quite tighter than I like in order to hold under higher power. Other axle makers, like Serpent, have a good tight hold on the rings and produce axles with great hold, just not mine. Would it be prudent to glue the rings directly to the ring seats? Not permanently, just to take the play out of it so i can get good a good ball-ring grove which can take the power.
We used to use a little 3M weatherstrip adhesive. The yellow kind seams to set up faster. You can pick it up at most auto part stores.
