Does a T-Maxx take differential oil?

Default diff oil

Tell us:

- what kind of car (I could not find the type of car you have)
- kind of track (lots of turns, short straights, etc)
- kind and type of tires (foams-what compound, rubber- soft, med, hard for insert and tire)
- are you using negative camber/toe
- are you using droop gauge

We might be able to suggest a setup if those are answered.

That sounds like some pretty thick oil for the diffs. I have a 7.5 and run 5000 front, 7000 center, 1000 rear and that combo works excellant for most loose dirt tracks big or small. I would say using the oil you described would give very bad handling, pretty much eliminating the diff action all together. Give us more information on the type of car you have and the type of track you run on for better info.

Default sorry..its 1/10 nitro touring/gs

mostly the race is held on tarmac surfaces...

and rubber tires or foam are used...

before, i was using 3000 cps front and rear..
for the shock spring it was the stock spring

most of the other experience drivers suggested
those change i mention earlier for better
performance and handling...just wanted sort of
second opinion...

for this coming race i do not know the layout
yet (parking lot race)

anyway usually the layout of the track are
medium of everything i guess....
