Infraction Infraction Diff Fluid Options_1st time opening diffs since purchase a year ago 😜

[djrahbee]

Bought late last July. I am just getting around to checking my diffs on my 6s Infraction V2 . All I did when I got it was check for loose screws and send it. Ran a few sets of tires, maybe 10-12 sets of packs through it then it got shelved. I don't have a lot of close places to run a street basher. Tires are not cheap. So I focused on back yard bashing throughout the winter and spring. After looking around the forum for a while I saw several different opinions on diff fluid combos. I want to set it up for drifting and general street/lot bashing. Would my Kraton setup work 60/500/30 or stick with stock 10/100/10? I've seen guys mention 1 mil in the center. When I opened the diffs last night for the first time I was surprised to find real thick, almost earplug thick, in the F&R and super thin/runny in the center..? Is this normal??

Guess if you want it to slide sideways always, you want thick fluids in all 3 diffs. At least more fluid than it shows here

The front and rear had "enough" in the them. The center had little and was thin like 10/30k.

i haven't opened my center yet but my front on my fireteam looked like that exactly after about 3 months or so and 20 packs.

Ah ok. I run like 10k F/R on LSD diff on Mojave, and it's fine. 100k center. But I see people do all sorts of things on open diffs, so I think you may try whatever you want, and just experiment until you're happy. I don't own a street basher myself (yet) and have little to bring here.

When I wanted my Infraction more tail happy I made the rear diff fluid thicker, bit like a drift car has a locker diff

Thank you!

I went with 60/500/100...hope I don't regret it

I run 500k in the center but can’t remember what’s in the F/R. She drifts beautifully tho!

Been very happy with 60/200/30, but I want to try 50/200/20. Not much difference in mine, but used a lot by YT's like Rich Duperdash. My setup works well with my open parking lot drift style of driving.

I haven't installed the diffs yet. Should I swap the F&R putting thicker in the front?

My personal option I would swap the two. I like a slower wheel spin up front for the drift turns and lighter in the rear for the spin. Of course, the center diff weight does have a big play in all this.

i only did the front to 50k and i like how it feels, still stock weight in the other two.
I don't have a huge frame of reference but its better then stock for me
