I also recomend using HPI's alloy spur gear mount #100670 and a quality spur gear such as one from Robinson Racing as they spin more true and are stronger. Besides that a thicker viscosity grease in the front diff to make the steering less "darty" for oval would probably be a good idea. Don't forget to play gith your camber link length with mounting locaton and droop settings, they affect your roll center and weight transfer.
Which grease would you suggest? I have no real experience with gear diffs, and have no idea what to do with it. I understand the thicker the grease or oil the more of a posi the diff will act like.
