Center diff question

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

3,000 weight in the front
7,000 to 10,000 weight in the middle
1,000 weight in the rear

I think I'm going to up the 1k to 2k and see what happens.

Thanks Chris. I'll run it as is for a while to get the gears lapped, then I'll dump them and put the right oil in them.

This buggy is lightyears better than the POS 4-Tec I got, but there's always something that the factory screws up.

You like that front diff to really onload huh C? I might see how that works. Do you get less pull from the front that way right.

My fronts dont really unload at all this way. I get a hair of pull but not much. Just on really loose surfaces.

Well, I hate to disagree, but I just opened the rear diff to change out the oil, and the diff has grease in it. A good ammount, but IMO and from reading and suggestions from the LHS guru, not nearly enough. Anyway, I'm gonna put in 5K/7K/3K. Also the RTR has spider gear diffs if anyone wants to know.

Whitt...

hehe. ok humboldt was right on that one. I guess you can chalk the stock diff oil in the Lightning Pro as yet another advantage when you buy the Pro version.

You really should have upgraded the gears while you were at it. :\

yeah just right on that 1.
