Been looking around at creating a good limited slip action on my TXT-1 and ran across this. Looks like a good concept. Anyone heard of or tried this? I got ahold of the guy and I think Im going to get some to try.

Never heard of this stuff, looks interesting though. Let us know what you think when you get some.

Looks really good! I've used the really tacky OFNA diff grease and it worked pretty well but that looks better. The only concern I would have is it's still a fluid and the TXT diff isn't sealed so it can leak out of the star shaft holes because of centrifugal force. I've decently sealed the diff with a ballon on the outside though.

Yeah I saw the ballon trick on one of your other posts. Not a bad idea... I was thinking of maybe filling the gaps around the spider shafts with black automotive silicone after I assemble it. Think that would work also? The shafts are stationary so theoreticlly it should work. Anyone figured a way to seal where the axles go in?? Also Ive never had my diffs apart... think they were possibly jb welded. Any good sources for new or used housings??

Little update... Havnt recieved the Traction Goop yet, Im negotiating price on some TXT parts he has also. But I asked about sealing the diff housing and he doesnt thing its necessary. He said it stays in there pretty good. He will be tearing down his axles soon and is going to confirm.
