I just bought some grease from the lhs for mine, the grease is fine if you are bashing which I know you are...
 
get ofna brand 3000wt is the same as associated 30000wt. you can use the wt in both diffs. you will need 2 sets of the bevel gears. be sure not to fill the diff to the top. if you do you will blow the diff case out.

i use 10000wt front, and 3000wt rear. this is ofna brand. in asociated it would be 100000wt front and 30000wt rear.

i bash mostly and would go with this set up tremendous hook-up in the front at full speed cornering. no traction loss.
 
yea i do some bashing, and may enter the racing scene in a few years.

i know, ijust fill the diff up to the top cross pin.

so you recommend ofna 10,000 in the front and ofna 3,000 in the rear?
 
yeah man 10000wt front, your gonna sh*t when your taking your truck full speed hit a corner and it just grips up. locks up alomost equal traction on both wheels when hitting corners. i love the 10000wt fr/3000wt rear.

handles at the track really well in the hair pins, and in and out the straight.
 
people are telling me that 1,000 and 3,000 is to thin and can leak out of the diff case. but its reccommended as a bashing setup and then other people are using 10,000 and 7,000

will i be good with 5,000 all around. and what does a higher wt do? i know its thicker but why?
 
I was told to use 5K in both (since I was too cheap to buy two different weights) and I only bash. Much improvement in traction...
 
well I've gotten the rear suspension off and have begun tearing it apart, but I've having some trouble with the front.

there are 2 screws under the skidplate that i think are threadlocked to the steering servo support things and i can't get them off. any tips on removing threadlocked screws because the heads are beginning to strip
 
Take the bats out of the radio box and remove the screws from the top. Leave the steering posts on the skid. I'm pretty sure that's what I did. It's been a couple of weeks now...
 
well I've posponed (sp) the front diff and am workin on the rear now its a lot of fun because i have never really taken my truck apart of this level and its a good chance to clean.... my workbench is covered with caked up dirt lol
 
Yes, it is fun.....for the first time maybe, then it's a pain in the ass the next 4 times....
 
Mine's all apart too right now. Waiting on a new back plate for the S-25... I must have had one of the ones built on Friday when they forgot to put Loctite on the Rotostart. Mine worked loose and broke an ear off the backplate...

Hope to be back on the road this Saturday.. Or should I say back off road...
