hey all just got a typhon 6s blx blue shell and allready on a 2nd set of wheels and tyres ,but i want to know about the front tyres ballooning , what can i do to make it more 4wheel drive and not have the front spin so much ?
 
Put thicker diff fluid in the center diff. It’ll help distribute the power a little more evenly from front to rear. I’d start with 100k fluid and see how you like it. You can always go thicker later
 
Jep, thicken that center diff up. Most people use somewhere between 100.000cst - 500.000cst. (100K - 500K). I don't have a Typhon, but I do have a Senton which is on many aspects similar to your Typhon. I run 200.000cst in the center diff myself.

On the bigger 8th scales (Outcast/Kraton) I run 500.000cst.
 
In my Kraton I run 60/200/30k and my senton changed to 100/500/100k front/center/rear. Have not run the senton still building. I may increase to 500k in the center in the Kraton also.
 
On topic -

Thicker diff fluid for sure. Like @KevBar40 said, 100k in the center. I'd say 60k up front and 20k or 30k in the rear.

In my Kraton I run 60/200/30k and my senton changed to 100/500/100k front/center/rear. Have not run the senton still building. I may increase to 500k in the center in the Kraton also.

@joostin420 If you do put 500k in your center diff it's gonna run real similar to your Outcast.

I run 100 500 20 in the Outcast front to rear.
I run 100 200 20 in the Kraton front to rear.

Exactly what is shown in the pic, but you can bump up the Amps to 7.5A. There should also be an optional "Storage mode" in you're charger. I would recommend putting you're lipo into this mode when it's not in use.... 3.85 per cell, is happyland for these lipo's.

While my Son & I wheel / rim assembly our own sets, when we do start by turning tires inside out and wrap @ 2 layers of reinforced packaging tape around the contact patch area. Turn em back around which creates wrinkles on the tape. The expansion the tire can "Balloon" is only a slight amount until tape stretches tight and limits the balloon amount. Used with orange med firm foams makes for a fairly firm tire that WILL NOT BALLOON keeping our buggies really planted well.. We BOTH use 500k in the center diff, 50k in front and 10k rear. Excellent off road / track
