I have a Kyosho SP2 and wanting to change the diff oil and set it up for our local track.
It is a large track, loose but smooth. there is a long rhythm section with about 7 jumps and large double that is about 3' tall and 25'+ long, table top, etc.
I would like more traction going into the turn. Other cars on the track seem to make sharper and tighter turns. My steering is set up correct and using the correct tires. I use an airtronics 359 for steering.

Any recommendation on what weight to use would be great! Let me know if you need any more info.
 
What do you have in there now? What motor are you running? If you want more off-power steering lower the front dif, if the front tires are ballooning, raise the center dif. Go to www.rcdocuments.com and download the Xray XB8 manual and print off pages 36-43 and keep them in your pit box. While the tuning will be different as to "how to" it's a great guide for set ups and "what if" or "if I do this"
