Troll much, Bert? Wow.

Anyhoo, I took the gear diff apart and cleaned the stock maple syrup out of it. While tearing it down, I took note of just how much friction the shims provide on their own, with just a thin film of oil on them. LOTS.

I refilled with a 35wt shock oil (425cst) and found it was still quite sticky, so I chucked it up in my drill, held the other side in place and spun it at 500rpm for a few minutes. Afetr that the action seemed about right, so I've installed it in my M-06 and it feels about right when holding one wheel and turning the other.

We'll see how it goes on the track soon.
