Hi!
I'm planning on using the one way multi diff in front on a high grip track with a super long left hander and very sharp corners everywhere else. Any recommendations on what is the best grade of oil for the rear diff?
Thank you guys!

bear in mind you may be better setting your car up to be fast in several tight bends then one big one.....

I agree, but that long left hander is crucial. If you screw it, you're buggered for half of the race track. Hence me trying to setup something well balanced. I guess I'll flick through the posted setups.

If the track has high grip you shouldn't have any problems using 80K in the rear diff.

I've tried 100K once with 300K in front. Car was not the easiest to drive, specially exiting really slow sweepers but tracction was awesom.

To go safe I'll say 80K.

I don't know what front springs you are using but the harder you go the better the car will respond on long fast corners. The track where I use to run has most of the cornes of this type and my car is perfect. Maybe it works in your's too.

If you whant you can search the set-up in the web and try it. The track is called ARCA.

Cheers

Thank you, I will try that. Especially the hard shock springs. I think I'll need since i'm also trying a lola body just for the fun of it.
Cheers
