I thought I’d share my thoughts on diff oil weights in the outcast.
STOCK:
Stock oils allow way too much ballooning of front tires. I cooked my diff and the support blocks for the cross pins actually melted into the diff cup a little. Needless to say way way too hot. The front and rear diff oils were very nice handling wise especially for drifting. On pavement or loose dirt the truck would slide predictably.
300K:
Next I tried 60k front 300k center 30k rear. Helped a lot with the ballooning. Less overheating the center diff. Helped with overall overheating of the motor/esc a ton too. Biggest change in handling is it tends to spin out quite easily. Drifts before were steady. They became difficult. Just as you start to slide it spins out. Less center diff action means wheelies come much easier.

I just got this installed recently and it made a world of difference. I still have 60k front 30k rear. There is virtually no power unloaded to the front wheels. Wheelies are super easy and you can float the front end. I haven’t tried much drifting. My guess is it’ll still spin out same. The biggest change is that finally the power gets to the ground. The ballooning is tamed incredibly well. I’m pleased with the overall change it made and highly recommend 1M weight fluid to outcast folks.
