I was running in the dark so difficult to see but it didn't seem to have the speed I was hoping for. I think I'd set punch at 50% as a first try so I can dial this back...

It was running 6s2p A123 so batteries should be up to the job.

I'm just wondering if rotating the diff means the normal oil rules are swapped...

I.e. quote "normally using thinner fluid such as 5-7k in the center diff will send more power to the front wheels, allowing them to pull harder. At the same time, drive to rear wheels will be slightly diminished. The shortcoming is the overall acceleration will be reduced, as more power will be sent to the unweighted front wheels, while less goes to the rear wheels. "

Now as the diff is the other way around i.e. normal rear output of diff is driving the front wheel is my thick (30k) oil resulting in more power to the front wheels than the rear.

Should I be dropping down to 10k or less to get the power to the rear?
