here is the exerpt from the hand-book...

"A transmission and differential oil catch tank must be installed. The transmission catch tank capacity must be more than 100cc and made by metal or resin and must be installed in passenger compartment. The differential catch tank capacity must be more than 200cc and made by metal or resin and must not be installed in the passenger compartment. If both transmission and differential share the same catch tank, the capacities need to be greater than 300cc in total. The catch tank breather must exit the outside."

Correct, you would want to tap the diff. where the vent is and run a line to a remote catch can. I would assume its for when the diff is hot and being tossed around you do not loose gear oil on the track.

These work well..
