Hi Craig,
Thanks for the reply and hope you can give me some more advise.
Seriously considering changing from a ball diff car to a geared diff car, the theory seems to make a lot of sense, especially with the way LiPo technology is ever increasing power through the transmission. I've not had any experience at all setting up geared diffs, in terms of which weight oil to use for which track. I've done some research using oOple and the Durango website, but have noticed that Durango do not sell diff oil, and the diff oils that other manufactures sell seem to have different measuring systems for the oils.
For example, the oil that comes with the DEX410 (2010 Spec) seems to be 100000 & 50000, but looking at Team Associated Diff Oils they are measured as follows:
1000cst
2000cst
3000cst
5000cst
7000cst
10000cst
I can't see the relation, unless the diff oil that comes with the DEX410 is very, very thick. I'm sure there's a perfectly simple answer?
My local club is Stotfold, so I've looked at the latest set up sheet, which seems to be yours on 04/07/2010. This states that your using 12500 diff oil in the front and 5000 in the rear. If I use the Team Associated diff oils as an example, they do not sell a 12500 weight, the maximum is 10000?
Also, would you mind giving me a brief explanation of how lighter and heavier oils affect the handling of the car, as when I purchase the car I'd like to order a reasonable range of diff oils to cover most set up scenarios.
One last thing, does the DEX410R come with the same diff oils as the DEX410 (2010 spec)?
Thanks for your help,
Joe.
