    Default MBX5t diff fluid

    ok so I am rebuilding diffs and shocks today on a bunch of the toys, just not sure what to do with the diffs in the truggy. I dont know what weight is in it now but it is due...

    I have 10k on hand as most of my others are using 10k. should it be a decent starting point for the center? I think I'll run 3k in the rear maybe 7k up front?

    no bashing just racing (track only)

    thx

    I think that is a good place to start, I run 5/7/3 in my buggy (f/c/r) and the same in my Slash 4X4

    10k is good for the center, if you find the front wheels balooning too much, you can up it to around 15-20k.

    I use 10-30-7 on the Matrix. Barely any balooning issue. Could go slightly lighter in the centre since the truggy wheelies on surfaces with more traction but on DORC track it just grips with no spinning out even when its real dusty
