What Silicone Diff Fluid Is Best?
 

I just recently bought a Team Losi 8ight Buggy. I need to buy some extra diff fluid. I have a problem though! I don't know what the difference is between Silicone Diff Fluid 5000 CS and 1000 CS. What do these numbers mean?
Thanx

The higher the number the thicker the oil. What this does is makes the diff slip less(more posi trac) with the higher number, the lower the number the more slip it has(less posi trac). Usually you want the higher number in the center and front and the lower number in rear example: 10000 center 7000 front and 3000 rear. Depending on the track conditions.

I run 5f-7c-3r in X1-CR running on clay tracks. I like the mugen brand, but that is just my personal fav.
