I would guess a safe bet is a typical 5-7-3 (front-center-rear). Maybe as low as 2 in the rear. Shouldn't be long before a couple of guys who race the hyper8 can give you better insight!

5-7-3 is an excellent starting point.
you can change it for different tracks but I would certainly start there.

buddy of mine runs a hyper 8 as well. How would you say your car handles with the diffs setup like that? does the back end follow the front pretty much anywhere? (never slides around?)

I understand there are many factors that dictate how a car will perform, but I just mean a general description.

I run 3-3-1.
