So I've had a shiny new Sledge sitting here for over a week and I haven't run it yet... it's so pretty and all I have to run it on is a small area of dirt and gravel, and I'd rather wait til I have a better place. I have an Outcast 4S V2 and a Fireteam to use in the meantime. Anyway... I'm seeing videos where they say to check the diff fluid. It's cold out and I'm bored so I tore into it.

Sure enough, the center was only half full so I filled it up with 20M since that's what the video said. Now I have the front diff out and it's damn near empty. BUT, I'm not sure what to put in it. Same with the rear. Anybody now? I've done some Googling, but nothing is coming up.

Thanks folks!

You should always check any ready to run kits you get for that kind of stuff. Make sure theres no loose screws etc.

This is from the Traxxas Sledge users manual...
