Asuga Asuga - Recommended Diff Fluid Weights for General Bashing

[ridgehead44]

Hey all,

I've been running stock weight for about a year. I've cleaned out the center diff, which got nasty/mostly empty after the threads backed out during my last run. While I'm at it I want to check/clean/refill the front and rear diffs too. Before I did that, I wanted to see what you all recommended for diff fluid weights.

I tend to do light/general bashing and ramp bashes on 6S. Nothing extreme off the ramps--maybe max altitude of 7-8 feet. Lately, I've been running on grass, but I prefer dirt whenever I can find a good construction site to bash. I'm running the Sketer wheels and tires.

Anyway, I'm all for any advice y'all have. Thanks so much in advance!

10k front 20k back, 500k centre. Lost my cvd running 6s on grass. Hope that wont happen again.

I think you should go with quite a lot thicker front diff fluid. A light one, like you are running now, allows the inner front wheel to reach extreme rpm's when it lifts in turns.
It may very well be the cause of that lost cvd.
