REVO diff oil in a JATO diff - 07.21.2005, 02:11 AM

This is for all the JATO owners who are having problems with handling dirt (namely spinouts). I read on the traxxas forums in the JATO section where a company called RD Racing have been testing with heavy diff oils in the JATO diff. They found out that the JATO diff responds favorably to using heavy diff oils. they have tried as heavy as 50,000wt oil in the diff and they said it was much more controllable on the track, so i tried the 50,000wt oil myself and found out for myself that it is better, but don't know yet if this could damage the diff or other drivetrain parts yet, but I'll let you know if it happens.


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
