Yup Tyler it works good. It gives you a little better turn in than a spool but still pulls hard off the corner without spinning the inside tire so easy when it's unloaded coming off a tight corner. Also you don't have to worry about it leaking like diff grease if it's not sealed good. Kinda like running a really tight ball diff.
