Default Hyper 8 Diffs

I just started running a Hyper 8. The front seems to push a lot. Can some one tell me what oil / grease the diffs come with stock. I have just ordered 3000, 5000 and 7000 weight oil. I know I need to some testing on my own, but am just looking for a good staring spot. Thanks

I run 5K,5K,1K front to rear but might go to 2 K in the rear. From what I have seen most run heaver in the middle and front then they do the rear.

Here is a link to Nitro House that has some set up sheets from pro drivers. You will notice all run the lightest oil in the rear why because with lighter in the rear and heaver in the front it helps keep the rear from trying to pass the front

But what ever works for you is what to run.
