Default What weight diff oil are you using ?

Like the title says , what are you using ?


I want to change out the grease in mine and tune it a little , I have some 5,000wt and some 50,000wt .

Would the 5,000wt be too thin for the rear , or too thick ? How about the front ?

I run mostly off road on a track but do some bashing/jumping with it too .

Do you have yours set up like Adam Drake in the Sept issue of RCCA ?


I was thinking I would try a thicker oil maybe start at 20,000wt in the rear and maybe use the 50,000 in the front ?

I took Adams advice on my basher LST, 10k front and rear and it works great for bashing, for racing I am sure you would play around with different weights but for bashing 10k is a good starting point and much better then the stock grease. Quick tip when using fluid always replace the seals, I used 2d's tip and got the 8ight diff seal set which is way cheaper then the lst set and includes enough to do three diffs and includes the o-rings.
