Kraton Arrma Kraton 6S BLX - Alternatives for oil diff?

[joaokrm]

Hello guys. I live in Brazil, so I don't have that Factoy Team oil here. Can I use some quality grease in back, front and center diffs? And how long should I worry about that? My Kraton has about 5 runs.

And what is that package with some shins that comes with my Kraton?

In case you have not already noticed, I am just a grumpy old man that really likes pancakes. I know there is an Amazon Brazil edition. Is there any reason why you can't get diff oil where you live?

let's say the oil costs 10 dollars, shipping costs 100 and tax 300 in amazon xD

Speaking of pancakes, just use syrup.

Melted butter will probably cut it down if you want it thinner.

Hmm.. I have used a ton of gearcase oils and differential fluids but have never come across anything that is used for machinery that would be a substitute for RC diff fluid. Aside from the center diff earplug trick.

Could get someone that lives in another country to ship you some?

So I will be using car diff oil, that's it

I would not suggest it.

It's my only option

I guess my next step would be to find a hobby shop in Brazil and see what they can do for you?

In the other side of the country, and probably they don't have that oil

I would not suggest it.

Why not?

Why not?

Because the heaviest gearcase oil, like a 250 weight that you might find in Brazil is way to thin to operate properly in a differential that requires 200,000 CST fluid.

I feel your pain. Up here in Canada diff oil like most useful things is banned by the government, so we have to use maple syrup or liquid honey as a substitute.

Jb weld/jelly/jello/playdoh? One of those things my work

Serious side note, I’ve used red and tack by lucus and it seems to hold pretty decent as a spare diff. Not recommended tho.

Man, I followed your recommendation and I used liquid honey. Now my diff is seized. wtf. Who's gonna pay for that?
