I just do not understand LSD, heck just getting somewhat familiar with open diffs as a newcomer.
I know I ask a lot of questions but at the same time, I do read a lot of posts here. I purchased a Kraton 6S EXB in Oct. Before getting it, I read all about LSD issues, shimming, etc and was prepared with needed shims. I was under the impression this rig would come with the rear open but shimmed correctly from Horizon. Also, I had in mind since I am on the ground and like to drift in the dirt to do a similar diff setup like my Infraction 60/200/30k weight. However in my reading and videos, I got more feedback and comments in YT post for the Kraton diff 50/200/20k or 60/500/30k weight as a good basher setup.
Then upon more reading and from some good people here I was told that LSD plates can be a multiplier making a light weight like 10K act thicker depending on my bashing conditions. So the stock diff oil in the K6S EXB is 10/100/10K weight.
I finally opened the rear of the K6S EXB today and the rear diff is NOT open. It has the 3 LSD plates in the rear stock and they are setup in the minimal setup with circle, star, star (still more to learn there for me). I have not gotten to the others just yet.
Well, this just wreaked all my research and stuff since I am all LSD now and most of the posts on the Kraton LSD are older as well as the videos and little newer posts on the LSD setup and how the 3 LSD diffs play into the performance.
Dirt drift/bashing is my goal with no jumping/sending and do not care for wheelies. Can anyone share their experience with all 3 LSD diffs for the f/c/r on Kraton or a similar 6S 4x4?
LSD technology has an effect to increase the weight resistance so it seems unwise to me to go UP in diff weight with a 50/200/20, any thoughts on the LSD diff weight performance increase?
Thx
