I love how chics making out is ok, but an animated gif of kermie humping a stuffed bunny is a no-no....

Not that I am complaining about the chics making out, that is always welcome in my book!

As for heavy cd fluid, it will put down the power better to all 4 tires, and prevent alot of front tire wear from excessive unloading. Plus if the front tires are unloading too much, you will have heat issues with the motor. I had a half full cd with 50k in it in my muggy, and with the hacker c50 11xl temps were too high for my liking (beating 140 after a few mins) I check the cd as I could see the front tires were blowing up, even at full speed, and found it half full. I topped it off with 100k, and the motor temps came down, plus the tire ballooning was alot less. Yes, it would wheely from a standstill, but what do you expect from a 4hp setup in a 12lb truck with lots of traction? I did not notice any differnce in turning circle or steering with the thicker fluid, as it will still let the ft and rr diffs spin at different speeds off power. The heavier truggy size wheels and tires do have quite a bit of momentum, so they can overcome the heavier fluid in the CD just fine.

Keep in mind this is with a muggy, and not a truggy, but I do run regular MT badlands (taped and balanced) so tire weight should be similar. And this is mixed bashing on the street and in the grass. A slicker surface would allow more tire slip, and you could drop the CD fluid weight for better steering/turning. My mixture in the muggy CD also does well with the 1521 1y on 6s, geared 15/49.
