Overall performance is good, there are no signs of heavy diffs, but i'm a bit worried: is it ok for tekno vehicles to have not so butter smooth diff internals?
I can feel the gear teeth on mine too. Will depend slightly on the thickness of oil, the thicker you run, the more 'locked up' the diff will be and so you have to put more pressure on the out drives to turn them, thereby feeling the gears mesh more. I'd say nothing to worry about. Just for info, its the same with my xray diffs
