|  Diff help I am building a maxx crawler and I have installed spools. My question is about my e-maxx which I am making more of a trail rig, If I put really thick grease in the diff will it give me a limited slip effect? If anybody has done it please let me know what you used and how well it worked. Thank you for your responses. |

| When I put spools in my diffs, I didn't put any grease in them and they have worked fine since I put in the spools. But thats just what I did. Krystopher |

| the heavy grease will tighten the stock diff up a little, i used 1:1 wheel bearing grease for a while then went full lock....give it a shot not going to hurt anything |

| I made that question sound wierd. I am asking if i can get a limited slip action from my stock open diffs if I put in thick grease. |

| yes, but! thick grease will not be thick anough, i packed mine with green bearing grease on my savage nitro and it does the same as normal open diffs. I used 300k sillicone diff grease. man that stuff is soo sticky you can almost make a ball with it between your fingers. the only bad thing about that stuff is that it breaks down easily, but i used it in a 50 mph+ going truck i might hold up longer in a crawler/trail truck. its made by AE (team associated) its 300K weight silicone "gear diff lube" i think you have anough info to find  |

| I think I remember reading about some grease that Tamiya makes that is for diffs, and It is supposed to work well for giving an almost locked affect. |

| the problem with useing 300k oil is that the maxx diffs are not a sealed diff and it will leak out. |

| I am talking about to different trucks. I already have spools in my rock crawler, I am building a trail rig with the other truck. I want to get a limited slip action from the trail rig not locked, but it looks like there really isnt a good way. |
