Hey guys,

Thanks!

Isnt it packed with grease stock? Don't think they ship em with diff fluid. Could be wrong though...

And I was.... You got me thinking on this one, so I found the spec/review...

<p align="justify"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"> <font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><font size="2">The differentials of the Revo have been beefed up substantially, and bear very little in resemblance to the ones found in the Maxx. The plastic housing that holds the differential no longer has left and right sides, but rather front and rear halves. This is a common setup found with 1/8 scale buggies. It will also eliminate the difference in gear backlash that the Maxx would often see when the plastic case screws were torqued down differently. Also the bearing on the ring-gear side of the differential is 8x16mm, which is beefier than the 10x15mm bearing found on the other side of the differential. The 8x16mm bearing can handle the much larger thrust forces that are dished out on the ring-gear side of the differential. You'll also likely notice that, in keeping with the theme of sealed bearings throughout the Revo, these bearings are sealed as well.</font>

Hex head fasteners are a common sight throughout the Revo, and the differential area is no exception. Hex head screws hold the differential housing together as well as the differential itself. The small stainless screw screws found in the Maxx differentials don't hold a candle to the hardware that's used to hold the Revo's differential together.</font>

To accomplish the sealing of oil inside the differential, Traxxas uses x-ring seals around the output shafts. An x-ring seal effectively create two sealing points instead of one, like a standard o-ring seal would have. This virtually eliminates the chances of the differential leaking oil. The use of differential oil, as opposed to grease, allows you to better tailor the action of the differential to suit your tastes, or track condition. The differentials come filled with 30,000 weight oil, and Traxxas offers 10,000 and 50,000 weight separately. You can also find many other weights through aftermarket vendors that were made for differentials of this nature.
