Heavy oil in the front? I gotta disagree with that.

Lighter in the front.

If you have heavy oil in the front. Yes you will pull out of the corners easilier, but coming into them with both wheels having more of a tendency to spin your gonna break loose of traction and not get as sharp of a turn. You don't want to 'hang out' your front end on turns.

Heavier oil in the rear so you do get more of a posi traction rear end that you can power slide around corners.
In general the oil in the rear should be heavier than the oil in front.

center diffs I have no clue.

I don't know RCs very well but I know about off road vehicles. Unless I'm missing something here.
