Here is an awesome setup guide for buggy and truggy. Very useful when trying to solve a handling problem.

Its published by Xray but the principles apply to any buggy of truggy.

And I 100% agree with backfire. Without the right tires, you are just chasing your tail. Tires are the first and most importenat piece of any track setup.

To answer the dif oils questions:



EFFECTS OF DIFFERENTIAL OIL REPLACEMENTFront

Thinner

• Increases steering into corners (off-power)

• If oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent, especially it can lose forward traction (and steering) during acceleration out of corners

Thicker

• Increases stability into corners during braking

• Increases steering on-power at corner exit

Center

Thinner

• Front wheels unload more during acceleration

• Decreases on-power steering (reduces oversteer)

• Easier to drive on rough tracks

• If a high-power engine is used you could waste too much power and sometime “cook” the oil in the center differential because it “overloads”

• More off-power steering

Thicker

• More all-wheel drive effect

• Better acceleration

• Increases on-power steering (reduces understeer)

• Better suited on high-bite, smooth tracks

• Car can be more nervous to drive especially if a high power engine is used - you might need to be smooth on the throttle

Rear

Thinner

• Increases cornering traction

• Increases steering into corner

Thicker

• Decreases rear traction while cornering

• Reduces wheelspin
