Just rebuilt the diff on my f1 and was wondering how tight to set it and what effects on handling it has. I've read on the net some people run them so they just slip slightly under acceleration and others say run them as tight as you can. can anyone help with this.

Deffo no slip you will burn out the spur gear . . . .

Hold the rear wheels in your hand and with your thumb try to move the spur gear it should be tight

See us Sunday if ya up there

Slack Diff = more steering

Tight Diff = less steering

Adjust as Garry says by hand then test on the track for the final setting. No slip under hard acceleration is best.
