depends on what surface your on and the grip level

safe bet is 7k front,5k center,2k rear.

superglue should be ok or something like a rubber glue,i either use superglue or dont bother gluing them.

always remember the lighter diff oil you use the easier the car will be to drive
maybe start light & go up from there

Hi just done my diff oil for the first time and i was advised 3k front 5k Centre and 2k rear, i was told that this was the best starting point for bumpy surfaces but not had a chance to test it yet as only done today.

I run 7,7,3 in my rc8 . Check out hoboa set up sheet and see what others run if your still running the 8.5 . So are you going to try racing .
