Now that I got my S-60,what is the most durable way to paint it before I install it?
Not looking for concourse,just durable black paint that will protect it,not powdercoating.
Any reccomendations?

John

If you want to save some $$ and not worried about it looking absolutely perfect, get yourself 2 quarts of brush on black Rustoleum. If worried about seeing brush strokes in the paint, brush it on first, then go over it with a sponge roller as they leave no brush marks. Holds up 10x better than spray paints. Some may differ in opinions, but this is a low budget option or to put it another way, now you have more money to spend on more parts! If you go this route, be sure to let it dry undisturbed for a good 24-36 hours. It takes this stuff a while to dry.

Eastwood chassis black, in a spray can is some of the toughest paint I've ever used. Got a new can in stock if you wanted it today...

Anybody else use a true-trak diff?
Just looking for some insight as to what it feels like street or track,compared to a cone-style sure grip on an 8 3/4.

pacing,
John




With our S-60 I noticed it works great, much smoother. Our 8-3/4 had a clutch style Sure-Grip and on tight slow speed corners you could feel the inner tire chirping. With the True-Trak there is none of that. There are some really tight uphill turns here where you drop down to 1st or 2nd where the difference is very noticeable. Driving up our dirt road no problems with traction.

At the track with slicks it grips great.

Very pleased with it and Cass gives great support before and after the sale.

I ended up using a 2k epoxy by Spraymax and after letting it set up for 24 hours,used Spraymax 1k in satin black.
Looks great!

I talked to Dr. Diff today and placed my order.

This guy is very thorough and patient with all my stupid questions.Offered only unbiased opinions.

I shopped around with other competitors,and although he stuck with his price,I felt I could trust what he was telling me and could count on great service if I had any questions on installation or problems that may surface during the install,or repair down the road.
I am glad he explained the exact difference between the trak-loc,power-lok,detroit locker,true-trak,and S-trak.
I went for the S-trak(Strange version of true-trak).
Thanks again for all your help!!!!!!
John
