Default Initial Diff Setting?

Hi,

Just finished my TRF501X and looking forward to running it! I do have one question;

What is the initial setting for the front and rear diffs, tightness that is...

I have a B44 and B4 and adjust those according to the manual, but the TRF manual makes no mention of how to get a baseline setting.

Some advice please

TIA

I set my diffs by first beddng them in ( run a motor at low voltage then hold one wheel on the axle for 5 seconds then the opposite wheel, this beds them in), then I lock both wheels and lock the slipper, I then try to turn the spur gear by hand, if it turns, the diff needs tightening.
