Buggy Diff fluid questions??

[newnitrofan]

Sup guys just received my new buggy tonight been a long time coming. Well one of the first things I obviously dont' know of course not ever having run one is what diff fluids is everyone running in theirs?? It has a front, rear and middle diff. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It is the original Ofna MBX with Hyper 21 8 port. Thanks

3,000 Front
5,000 Center
1,000 Rear
or
5,000 Front
7,000 Center
2,000 Rear

Both will be good places to start.

A good starting point is 5K-7K-2K (F-M-R). I run LSD fluid (for the limited slip diff) in the front, 4K and 1K in my K3.

I run 120k in the center and rear to make it drift around like crazy. I still have grease in the front.

Drift around? As in controlably?

 

[newnitrofan]

Do they even make 120K??? I am quite aware of 100K but not much higher

 

[Error401]

I think that's when you mix 100K and 20K.

 

[newnitrofan]

Oh ok so If I mix some 30% fuel and 20% I will get 50%

 

[Error401]

Yeah, but be real careful. Anything over 30% will explode. Also, don't mix brands.

Yeah, but I believe controlably is a relative term in this case.

LHS had it. OFNA part number 10238. I went to the garage to check twice. and I just check again for a third time 120k.

Yeah, but be real careful. Anything over 30% will explode. Also, don't mix brands.

I mixed different %'s and brands before with no problem. I mixed blue thunder 40% with trinity monster power 30%. Just had to retune. Engine still runs.

If you mix different percents wouldn't that bring the average percent down. As for the fuel question 30% and 20% wouldn't that give you 25%? Or am I just looking at this the wrong way?

Dude, we're just funn'n w/ ya. I ran 100K in the center diff on my lightning, 70K front and 30 (or 50K) in the rear. it was pretty drifty on dry tracks. Turned like a pig on downers when the track was watered (like the dude keeps it here).

Yes, I have no idea why I did it. Just did it.

i run 5k in the front.. 7k in the center and 1k in the rear..
used to be 3k, 7k, 1k, but i didnt have very good exit steering so i went up in the diff in the front..

also.. i tried 2k in the rear.. but the car didnt feel right.. so i went back..
