For the short while that I owned a 1/8 buggy (a MP777 to be precise), putting a heavier oil in the front prevent the wheel on the inside of the turn for unloading during hard, fast corning, and I would carry much more speed and on power steering in the corners. Now for low speed, well, it didnt have that much affect on the low speeds. But go ahead, try the 75% and 75% front and rear, see how that works, and see if its still ok in your handling department. If it helps, but not ok in the handling department, go to about only a 45% to 55% heavier oil than original grease in the front and keep the rear oil the same.
