It's not on eBay or anywhere I've seen. Being out of business for years has made it unavailable.

You have to keep looking for over three months on ebay to find someone willing to sell his stock just as I did a while back : the world does not revolve around you....ok...If you really want it, you'll find it...Life is hard. Wake up !!!

That's your advice to someone who wants to fix their diff now? Wait for months hoping for a discontinued product from a dead company to randomly appear?

Use the available energy suspension grease now while still looking for the ultimate Ofna diff lock lube. Take it or leave it...Stop crying !!! Lots of cry babies down under...WOW...

- using the Tamiya kit diffential components only
- Oil type sealed diffs are NOT permitted
- Ball differentials are NOT permitted
- you MUST retain functional diff action at all times

which lead me to remember the blue-tack method from the M03 days except I don't remember lhow it went to get about 80-90% stiffer.
I've used this on occasion
