Oil Diff in K8T ??

[zigzag]

hi

What's original Factory setup oil diff Caster Truggy ?

Front / Central / Rear ?

[vnmsgt]

They do not come with anything in the diffs. I am running 10 /25/5 right now and it is fine.

10000 , 25000 5000??

man, that is really crazy, ...for me, i think
does the car still turns...^__^ wowow

im running 10/30/3 in mine and it feels good.
I only use GS oils in all my offroad and onroad cars though so viscosity can vary if usubf other brands.

Yes that is right. The car turn awesome for me. I used to use thinner weights in the center but always noticed my front tires ballooning on my other truggies so I went with the thicker oils and it helped out alot and I think it drives better. For me anyways.

I run 7/10/2 and with LPR tires and have no problem, it runs GREAT.

I'm doing 7/10/3 when I get my truck ready... I know a couple others running that.

[razzor]

I went up to 30k because the front tyres ballooned a lot.

I went up to 30k because the front tyres ballooned a lot.

Same reason I have too.

[Mr Fusion]

I talked to Cam about the center diff oil in the truck and says the new LPR tires don't balloon near as bad so that's why he's running the 10k center. We'll see how it works out ...

BTW, I have a new line of diff and shock oil coming very soon... and it will be a better value than what is out there now. (think bigger bottles for the same $$ type of concept) Most fluids now are 50ml/1.7oz bottles (some brands are a little bigger but not that much) and I'm doing 4 oz bottles as well as a smaller "starter" size for when you don't know if it's the right one but you want to try it... probably 1 oz size.

Anyway... it's been a secret until now. I hope to have several viscosities ready by next week, with more to follow.

LPR's are the bad ass tire of the future they are AWSOME:D

hi

Do you use the small Orings in diff ? Because lot of people in US, don't use it on mugen

[vnmsgt]

If I got them I use them. Better safe then sorry.

[Mindcrime]

Do not use the small orings.

[vnmsgt]

and the reason why not to use them?

[zigzag]

i don't use it ....

[razzor]

Dont use the orings they make the diff too tight.
I know the manual says its a option but what is it supposed to do i would love to know.

[Mindcrime]

They make the diff way too tight... just leave them out and you will be in good shape:)

[vnmsgt]

Do you think using a thinner center diff fluid like 10k will help the truck turn better than 25-30k in the center? Looking at trying to get the truggy to spin the back end around more (drive loose in the rear) like my ST-RR.

[zigzag]

yes i think is better ...

The best setup for MBX5T is : 7000 / 5000 / 2000 (rear)

[BigC123]

I run 5/7/3 in the truggy and it's great turns awsome and will come around.?&^

[Lee_Jones]

In my Buggy I am currently running 5/5/5 and I am liking alot.

In my St-RR I am running 15/20/3 and it works perfect.

[Mr Fusion]

Wow, there are some different setups out there!

btw, "we" have a new line of great silicone diff and shock fluids. I'll get more info this week.

1. certified accurate weights (unlike some others that have been on the market that are way off...)

2. it comes in BIG bottles for big cars... especially great for the big bore shocks.

3. better value $ :)

Just changed out my center diff fluid to 10k so I now have 7-10-5 Hope it goes will at this sundays race.
