Fireteam First time changing diff fluid

[Fishtank]

Looks great man! Those tires look much better. I never liked how the stock ones looked.

I had to change the tires as soon as I took it out the box. Didn’t look right.

I’ve been out 3 times since I finished my FT I’m running 60/500/30 and it’s perfect for the weight of the vehicle. I can wheelie if I want to but it’s controllable. I’m going to try the Magen shims.

I wish you’d stop posting pics of the internals of your FT. I get jealous every time I see it!

I’m building the ultimate send it rig next. I’m taking the kraton I bought with the M2C ultimate beef cake kit and tearing it apart and rebuilding it or I was thinking of putting it on a Mojave chassis. Not sure yet. I still can’t believe I got it for that cheap!

Yeah getting the FT for 4 $bill$, makes you want to slam it with all the M2C goodies out the box, no doubt. My wallet says the same.

300-500k is a good middle. I always go a little heavier in the front. Not sure it makes that much difference. It’s nice they give you the aluminum case in the center on the fireteam.

Either match the F and R diff oils (like stock is matched) or make the front diff oil thicker. Better.
Rear being thicker will make you Understeer/ Push. Harder to drive.
I generally like my front diff oil aprox. double that of the rear. Give or take.
This with all of my 6s "Open Diff" Off-road rigs.
Best for bashing purposes. Just not with slower technical Track driving however.
