Losing Diff Fluid

[madnking]

I have a new Revo with a Sirio .23 with about 1/2 gallon through it. When I run for a couple of tanks and then clean the truck I notice diff fluid on the front and year axle yokes. Not a lot but enough to notice. Do you think the power of the SIrio is causing the diffs to leak? Or is this a common problem?

the diff cassings just dont seal all that good. i figured that out the hard way when i put in 5,000 wt. stock the gears are lightly greased

You could try running heavier oil. It will leak out less quickly.

this is a common problem. stock diffs although supposed to be sealed do leak. thicker oil will help slow this down, or just keep and eye on it and re-lube them from time to time.

extra power will make no difference or very minimal difference at best.

it will just make a huge mess

Works in the savage. At least it lasts longer.

as opposed to the stock 30K, how so. thicker cannot leak out the small gaps as much as thinner fluid.
