As I reported earlier I am running a Smart Diff in the center and the truggy didn't feel right. It didn't seem that the SD was working correctly, too much power was still transferring to the front. So I opened it up and found a couple of problems. First, all (or most) of the grease was gone, apparently even when it seems to be full of grease the centrifugal force causes the grease to squeeze into all the open spaces around the outside of the diff, leaving the middle dry. Secondly I had accidentally rebuilt it using the 90 degree ramps which don't lock as aggressively. So I added the 120 degree ramps, removed two of the four .15mm springs, and regreased everything. Hopefully this will get it to lock up a little faster and more aggressively.


All the grease is around the outside, with nothing in the middle.
