Nice , Did the same thing , found too , to make them Super smooth ... I took the open end of the diff like you show in your video, throw a bit of molly grease in there AND then next hook up my Cordless drill to the Axle end AWHILE holding the housing run the diff for a few minutes at various speeds ( not overspending) forward and reverse .... and Wow super smooth ... like a Pre Run Brake-in ..
Clean out your grease ( to remove any brake in debris ) and grease with Synthetic grease so that in the cooler temps it wont thicken and take performance away...
Cheers 🥂 Great job frm 🇨🇦

I have heard of people running them in with a drill. I've built up quite a few now and nearly all of them have been to tight. I love WPL but the quality can be shocking sometimes. Even on the supposed upgrade parts. Thanks for the comment! 👍

[@Pezzapoo]

Nice job on those, they can be a bit clunky

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

They can be a bit hit and miss with regards to quality I find. But a little patience and you can have them running quite smooth. 👍

My problem was the grub screws slide and within seconds no matter what I do the right rear wheel is loose, I ended up just putting the plastic tipped metal gear axels from the rtr in.. only for my rear. The from axel has zero issues with the metal tips.

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

I must admit that's a new one on me. Bi t of locktite on the grub screws not help?

[@realseesreal120]

@@theminiatureconstructionco4556 no I tried two types of blues and I didn't wanna order red just for that. I ended up replacing the front with the rtr axels too. My other one has the wpl plastic portals and it's actually pretty nice.

Another method that also work is add a thin layer of paper between axle housing and axle pinion cup, paper thickness may different from one to other

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Yes I have heard of that method. I'm to lazy to make a gasket though! 😀👍

[@yannn5541]

@@theminiatureconstructionco4556 hahaha yeah, also the paper wont hold for long term if you submerge in water too often

[@BlvlWmpower]

Can you put a shim on the opposite side you filed, to hold the mesh open without play?

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

Yes I bet you could with the right shim. That's not a bad idea! 👍😊
