probably 7/10/3 or thicker depending on surface, 10/20/5 for blue groove, 7/10/3 for more loose dirt.

I have heard that 7 up front, 10 for the center and 3 in the rear.
does the higher the number mean the thicker the oil? I swear I read that thinner oil offers more traction but that would mean the higher the number is the thinner the oil is.... right?

higher the number the thicker the oil
thinner oil gives more traction because it gives the wheel with the least amount of traction the most power
which means when your out side tires are planted and getting alot of traction power is not givin to those wheels causeing them to over spin and loose the traction they have.

hope that helps

Lol all yull get is wheel spin.

Should be fun.

Wish there was a way to eliminate all the diffs.

My ideal power ratio would be 35% Front and 65% Rear.

Thats what im trying to achieve.

Good luck to me lol.
