recommended diff oil wt??

[Badkitty]

i've read a few threads regarding diff oil, but no one has really had any recommendations of weight, depending on how your running.

Racing - smooth track
Racing- loose track
Bashing - grass, dirt
Street -

and so on. I put some 50Kwt in my savage and it now wheelies EASY on street with stock tires. Something it never even came close to doing before. All i do is bashing. street to grass , and some dirt.

For most racing I use 30k front/10k rear.

For most on-road stuff I use 50k front and back

For bashing I'll just run what was last in it and change over for the next on/off road race during clean up.

RBd Revo is correct, all the sponsored guys are running 30k front and 10k rear.

It's better in my opinion to understand why to use which weight were. Now I'm no expert in any way and these guys could explain it way better than me. The heavier the oil, the more the diff tends to kind of lock up. This is great for bashing since you want the most traction you can get and you simply just slide around in the dirt instead of needing more pression turning. I used 50k/r and 30k/f on the Revo. Now if you're racing, you want the rear end to be a little loose and not lock up so bad. This allows the rear end to slip instead of locking up and turn more easily than it would if it was to lock up. So when racing it turns sharper and slides less around turns. Then you got some tracks that are a little more loose or harder than the next track, so you kinda have to tailor you diff oil to them. Just my
