Oil in Genesis differentials
Hi,
I've just broken in the .46 on my new CEN Genesis RTR Limited Edition.
I'd like to know if for a normal "non racing" use I should put any silicon oil in the differentials or if I can leave them as they are (I suppose they are adequately factory lubed, isn't it?).
And if I want better performance on mixed terrain what oil should i put in the front, center and rear differentials?
What oil in the shocks?
Would be glad to get answers from CEN Racing also.
Thank you,
Simone

RE: Oil in Genesis differentials
hey Argo not being rude but alot of these answers can be found by searching sometimes they cant but i did the search and here is what if found.
Here is our Team Drivers (Andrew Smolnik, and Mike Walker) set-ups for the GENESIS when Racing. This will help with the handeling of the GENESIS .
Shocks: 10wt shock oil (silicone) all around with the #3 pistons. (largest hole pistons included with truck) Remove the top shock when racing. Lower the body as low as possible. This helps with LCG (low center of gravity) and the engine will cool more efficiently. Run 15mm shock clips to each shock.. clips included in the kit.
Body: Trim a 2 1/2" circle in the windshield for increased air flow to the engine. You also may need to trim the body a bit where the engine sits, when lowering it.
ENGINE: Removing the baffles inside the pipe increases the power band, however keep in mind that the noise level is much louder. Back pressure is not affected. Engine Settings. Top end: 3 1/4 turns out. Bottom end. 2 turns in from flush.
Differential s: Front and Rear differential s are filled with 100,000 wt silicone oil . Center Differential installed, (NO locker for racing) Use 300,000 + wt silicone oil . (not even sure you should call it oil at this point.. ; )
Shift Units: 2nd speed 5 1/2 turns out. 3rd speed 7 1/2 turns out. Adjustments may vary depending on the size of track..
For racing the Reverse servo is removed and reverse unit is locked into forward position only.
