If you are talking about the 4 screws that hold it all together, they are imperial. Pretty sure its 1/16 size.

I couldn't remember off the top of my head which size it was but I knew it was imperial as I had to get my old imperial drivers out! I have found on the new TLR race products the odd imperial screw.

As with the gear diff it was not originally intended as a race product but as a VERY low maintenance diff they could put in the ready to run 22. That way for someone buying the car as a toy, bashing, some none serious racing or a beginner its a part that doesn't require rebuild, or not as much as a ball diff. It just so happens as a coincidence it works very well on our unique UK high grip tracks.

thanks for the info,what oil would you sugest?i got 3000,5000,7.000 .the car came with this diff in and unfortunately some bits where missing from the ball diff,so couldnt rebuild that.

This summer I've used the gear diff on astro as it just seems to make the car so much more balanced and easy to drive than the ball diff. If it rains I usually put the ball diff in to be safe and also on grass. Although I do want to try the gear diff on grass and in the lower grip and try some thinner oils.

So far I have only used 3k oil which seems quite standard. If it's a really high grip and twisty track the 5k oil might be needed but iv yet to need that. Also if you are in a lower grip track you could try 1k.

I'd start with 3k and see how you get on but I wouldn't think you'd ever need to go above 5k.

What sort of tracks do you run on?
