Hi, just got my new Schumacher Swift almost ready to run. I was wondering what weight oils i should run in the diffs.
Also, can you get a front torsen diff for the swift.
Thanks,
Alex

I have heard that the swift gearboxes are the same as the enigma ones. Is this true. If so where can i get a torsion diff for the enigma?
Thanks again,

Depends on the person and the track that you run on. Some people buy the expensive dif and love it on a certain track and on others they run regulars. If you feel like spending that much on a differencial go for it but you could save for another motor, new servos, new radio, new pipe or many other things.
The standard setup for gear difs in a 1/8 scale buggy is 5k front, 7k middle and 1k rear.

Oil weight you choose is completely up to you. I personally use 50k - 100k - 30k. It's almost like having a solid shaft but not quite. I am leaning towards putting a solid shaft in the center in place of the diff just because I am not into different brake settings for the front and rear, I want the most power out of the engine to hit the wheels.
