I saw your post on FB about the setup you are using, it looks like the opposite end of the spectrum compared to my setup - while I don't like mine for any track use, I can't see myself going as far as your choice in diff/shock oils (looks like your using a lower cSt shock oil than stock?) - but I am very interested to know how you think it handles in that setup!!

Congrats on the Typhon!

For the center diff, my limited past on any tracks and/or events I saw a lot of spools or equivalent - I believe the upside to that is not loosing/wasting power on spinning tires with no/low traction as well as mid-air roll control off any jumps - but the downside is the potential to wheelie. If it were me, I'd am not really sure what I would start with to be honest I think it would depend on the track, if it was very loose I'd stick with 100K-500K center, if its hard or high traction I'd try something around 20-50K in the center...

Let us know what you think of the setup as well if you make any changes in the future! Good luck!

The goal is to have a car that is easy to drive, with thicker mid diff and loose traction the car will spinout. And wheelie is no option on a racetrack, i do not remember what i had in my old car, but it was forgiving, little more fwd due to the less thickness of middiff oil, rather that then a car that break loose as soon you go on power.

Feeling lot better..hope my maiden run will be soon. Il update here asap mates

Jerry its a Hobbytech spirit body. Pitbull style

Thanks!
Looks like it handles very well. Do you have any problems with the steering or balance of the car since you lift it?
I like it very much, a monster truck typhoon.

That's good, which one do you like the most for jumping and bashing, the Typon in this state or the Kraton?
