As most who have run spools in the rear know, the heavier the oil in the rear diff, the less steering you have, and the truck will just push in turns, especially on slippery conditions.

You speak as if you have driven in the shete...

Great info all, and I think what I'm going to start with is some 300k in just the rear. The STP oil treatment I am currently using is already equivalent to
1k or more (a guess), so I will see how the front behaves.

I'll try to explain this just to see if it makes sense to anyone else: with the rear spooled, and the front and rear diffs directly connected, ie. no CD, the only way the front diff unloads is if BOTH rears are lit. Since that is more of an issue in the slick, that's really my only reason for maybe needing to thicken up the front as well. But still less than the rear, as discussed.

So where is the best place to get some 300K fellas?

I live in New England, of course I have! :lol: A Main has the whole range of oils if you want to try a few.

There is a fine line where you get traction between one wheel spinning, and both wheels spinning. The former is due to diff fluid being too light, and the latter is caused by a heavy throttle finger. Heavier fluid gives better traction on slippery surfaces. The rest is throttle control.

I'm just worried about his steering.

I honestly think 100K in the rear is not too heavy for a truck like that. 300K might be, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. :mdr:

Don't lose any sleep :lol: I'm leaving the front alone for now.

_nitro I only found 125k at AMain, and Losi Parts House carries 300k but are out of stock.

Ballz!

Well, the rear affects steering, almost more than the front does...

Absolutely, and winter is all about rear-steering!

But as what's (dammit what's your real name?) said, throttle control baby...

I have a much better idea where to start, thanks guys!

Hmmm... I swear I bought mine there. It was a while back so I guess they cut down their selection. ImpacktRC seems to carry the whole line of Ofna oils though.

:lol: Well, most people call me Steve... but I would accept Nikola, Thomas, Leonardo, Stephen, or Rube. :smile:

Well I'm not most people, so I'm gonna call you Dave!

Ok I thought I remembered someone using Steve. So it shall be.

Did you find me some diff fluid yet Dave?

I'm still looking lol.

Oh, good. You answered your own question! :lol:

And then there's always; if one doesn't work, try something else!

Haha TOUCHE Steve :mdr:

Edit will you... Im still thinking Dave.

I'll check out Impakt!

Fine. In light of our demicongruent naming scheme, I will call you Jared. Deal? :lol:
