truggy diffs into Revo, what fluid weight?

Yeah I got some hybrid 1/8 V1 cases coming from Mike.

How many shims depends on how tight or loose they feel once dry-assembled- usually you do it by feel since every diff has tiny variances.

So like what paralyzed said, just shim until it tightens up and then back off with ONE shim?

Diff fluid weights tend t be the same or very similar from brand to brand- for 1/8 scale diffs something around 5k front & 3k rear, or 7k front & 3 or 5k rear is fairly typical ( I use 5k/3k for my UE diffs in my Gmaxx ).

Well no it's not, I have 100k traxxas diff fluid, and I am not sure how it compares to the typical 1 - 10k rating of the brand you are mentioning. I know that there are a few different ones.



I just noticed that the diffs I bought do NOT come with pinion gears. I just looked it up on AMAIN, I found this gear, which all I need for this is Mike's Revo shaft adapter, right?

100k is 100k, doesn't matter which brand it is really in that sense- if you need 3k or 5k, then buy 3k or 5k of whichever brand takes your fancy. 100k of traxxas oil doesn't equal 10k of brand X oil- the ratings are consistent in that sense across brands ( allowing for different formulas ) as far as I'm aware...

Yep, that's the one you want- don't forget to add some shims though ( something like 8x10x0.2mm will do the trick usually ).
