| Post subject: | Front gear diff |
Hi This has probably been asked before but i couldnt find a thread Im thinking of getting a gear diff for the front. So question 1- does it make a huge differnce over a spool? This is the track i run at http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9IC8Uxc9I More specifically, will it make enough difference to cover the cost of th diff? Next question-what oil should i run? Im thinking 1 million. What do you think? Also do i need the spring steel outdrives as recommended? Thanks |

Outdoors the popular one seems to be 2000cst. I have tried 700, 1500 and 2000 and prefer the 1500. Using a spool at the front. But it does depend on you, your track, your setup and even conditions on the day although I have never tried to optomise on the day. That is you need to experiment

GRC 2.5 million or putty in the front diff. The benefit of using a hard front differential is usually more mid corner steering and a milder on-power steering. This can be a good option for certain tracks. Personally I have found big use in a diff for tight and twisty carpet courses. For the rear, 2K-5K depending on the surface and tire. 2K is a good starting point, and you can go harder from there, to improve your on-power steering and forward traction. |
