Kraton Kraton 6s center diff fluid.

What weight center diff fluid is recommended or is everyone using for more evenly distributed power to front and rear diffs for more rear traction and less front tire ballooning ?

500k is decent compromise of traction while still utilizing the diff. Front tires will balloon on speed runs, wheelies will be hard.
1m is near in most instances but will still bleed excess power to the front on speed runs and hard throttle hits. Can still wheelie.

One of the above is usually a good starting point depending on preference.

I have an equate brand earplug in the center and it was good for a half dozen packs but then seemed to lose its stiffness and is a ball of gum dead smack center . It must have broken down . Anyways , I shattered a rear diff sungear recently and was wondering if the stiffer center was the culprit or it just monkeyed apart on a sudden jolt. I was lreciously running 500k and liked it enough as everyone says . Amd it’s probably safer now that I’ve blown a sun gear . The good thing was there was a diff all bearinged and cup ready . They have a sale now and again on horizon and you can put them together for $11-$15 with the sale price . It’s super easy and was worth it in this instance . I ordered two more at $11 but the next shipment is in June I believe . I think I saw the the sale the other day of you didn’t mind waiting it’s been a great deal for me . It didn’t show that it came with the input pinion , bearings and outdrive cups but all 3 have so far . Good luck . Happy sends

500k with the slipper plates installed is what I am running and I am happy with it. It wheelies and little ballooning.

Speaking of elon musk I wish he had an rc company. He manages dumb sh!t pretty well. Wouldnt have diff issues for sure

Great info. Not hijacking the thread but I want to ask the difference between 500k and 1M center in a 6s kraton? Which is best for what?

you will get more all wheel drive with 1M I have 500k in mine and it runs good. I haven't tried 1M yet
