Wouldn't it save the large gray area debate for the Tamiya officials to simply state....diffs must be run box original with Tamiya lube???? JMO

VERY GOOD QUESTION??

BTW - I would not say you can almost lock the diff.. you CAN tighten it quite a bit.... BUT yeah.. they do feel it.. after a heat. I think there is also a rule that those finishing in TOP (whatever) get their cars tech'd. Correct?
