I have been racing on road on asphalt parking lots for 22 years and I only need to replace my right hub bearing once per year. I dont use anything special either...just BMI/Boca stainless bearings, steel balls (not ceramic, or tungsten), and IRS D rings sanded on 600 grit wet dry paper.

My diffs are always glass smooth, spin super free and will not slip at all.
I will check that carefully so!

Diff made with CRC parts, AE diff balls (#6626) ans AE diff lube (#6591), use 600 sand paper with water and a right hub to avoid parallelism problem.




Other point: I'm looking for some setup sheets for 12L3 and 12L4, in fact AE 1:12th pan cars with 4 cells. I did look at AE website!
Could some of you could post some sheets? Obviously carpet track
