diff oil 4 brushless
 

hey there
another noobish question:intello: what grade diff oils are recommended for a 1/8th truggy? the same for all three diffs? how often do i top them up? my mbx5t is nearing completion.waiting for motor and esc to arrive then its game on:yes:

Standard set up

Pro set up

eh bro!

fush an chups bro:lol: i have standard diffs and will be running mmm v3 with 5000mah 30c lipos.

Choice bro!

Don't rip up your jandels when you get the motor/esc, make sure you're standin on the chilly bin for the first run

Have a look at the diffs after the first few runs (unless something else is prompting you to do so beforehand), then if the oil has changed colour (dirty) or you notice a difference in traction/performance - time for a change. I find the heavier the weight, the less often I change

Sweet as!!

Well i suggest going with a heavier diff oil in the center diff to keep front wheels for ballooning. I like running. 7k front 10k center and 3k rear. but that is my driving style. Everyone is different so find a place that makes you happy.

In my mbx 5T I am running 20F 20C and 7R on 5S w/a 2200kv castle system. No ballooning and crazy speed

20f 20c 7r? my infinate noobishness doesnt calculate:intello:.are these different grades?

my motor and esc cleared customs this moring so should be showing up in the next day or two.then i will be hangin of that chully bin with my jandels in itty bitty pieces:lol:

Too funny!

magman was referring to the grades of diff oil used...20k front 20k centre 7k rear. That's diff oil not shock oil

I don't have a mbx 5T but in my 8T I run up to 100k in the centre diff when I'm doing speed runs (does tend to bend the rear drive shaft though) which keeps the rear fully powered up

sweeeeeeeeet.cheers for that bro:yipi: i better get some pretty quickly. gotta stock up on consumables for these things.sounds like brushless 1/8s are pretty thirsty on oils and tires and batterys etc etc.

Consumption is directly linked to your throttle finger...it's not a switch!

If this logic goes out the window - get video

I must have 20 different grades of diff oil sitting on my bench. You will need to keep an adequate supply around. Also, you may want to keep extra diff gaskets around as well...:yes:

I use 20-20-5 setup in my MBX5T (8 races this summer, 4 wins, 4 podium finishes)

quite aggressive truck and I like the looser rear

5-10k in the rear with 20k front and center work very well in a truggy. depending on rear geometry setup.
