CD's for the savage?

[Nixpus]

Will check the weight of thet tyre/wheel combo a little later. No offset on the rims. They are just wide.

I have a question: All of the numbers supplied in regards to diff oil... we are talking centistrokes here right? and is that the same as WT? It seems the two terms are used randomly in regards to oils.

Ive found some 57000ish centistrokes silicone oil in the lab (its actually for calibrating a viscosity measurement system... but too old so I might as well use some for RC purposes) It flows like thick syrup. the CD feels quite right with that oil... harder to turn but turnable... cant wait! :)

wt seems to be a bastardization of the official centistoke unit and varies between companies. some info here

The 100K fluid i used was Venom brand and has 100000 on the bottle with no unit.

The 500K fuild i used was Kyosho brand and has 500000 on the bottle and a lot of japanese looking characters :)

The Ofna diff lock lube has no viscosity rating

Likely you will find the 57K centistoke too light if you're after a more constant 4wd feel.

Btw, even with the 500K and diff lock lube you can still turn the diff by hand, it's just rather stiff.

It might not say offset of the packet but it sure looks like it from the pics. The wheel nuts are almost flush with the outside of the wheel on stock rims but the Axials look to be set in quite a bit.
