diff oil doesn't make you faster in top speed...

what engine/gearing were you running?

The diff oil does not leak out of mine that I have seen in months and it sure does pull better with better control. Maybe for bashing no big deal but for racing makes a BIG difference!!!!!!!!!!

Diff oil leaks out if you don't put your diffs together right

Not trying to flame but even if you ported it the .25 is a very weak engine.

Most have put my diffs together properly.

Shes is fast enough to get squirrelly at high speeds and I don't like to wreck at top speed anymore especially on pavement, so Ive lost interest in top speed. I like big power torque in my Monster truck...[>:]

Bushnell sells radar guns to the public. In the US, you can buy them at PepBoys. I also heard Hot Wheels has a radar gun although I haven't seen one of them yet.

Until you spray it with a radar, you only *think* it's fast. Don't take that the wrong way, but the radar will either confirm or deny it.
