No problem. First attempts are always the most difficult. It took me 3-4 oil changes across my diffs to get it to drive how I wanted it to. If you do change your oils, you may as well shim your diffs whilst you're at it, but cross that bridge when you come to it ?Both these replies really help. Thanks!
(The process seems a bit advanced, so I might hold off until I learn how to solder and install an External BEC for my new servo, new STX2 replacement, and more...)
Also worth mentioning that because of weight distribution you also put more wear and tear on your rear driveline parts when you put thicker diff fluid in the center diff.....which is why I suspect they use the thin stuff from the factory, to save the driveline parts.In addition to the above info... by increasing your centre diff oils viscosity you also get an instant performance boost from the increased traction.
I went 300k for the centre Diff on my Typhon, it just puts the power down so much better. On rougher, bumpy loose surfaces the driveability will suffer a bit and it will be hard to keep it going straight when putting a lot of power down.. but on smoother surfaces its a big improvement.

Pretty sure its the typhon is a clone of the team durango dex8. Correct me if im wrong.Sounds logical that the rear driveline parts will wear more. On the flip side the front driveline parts can overheat and the front tyres also suffer a lot with stock spec so not sure if the stock viscosities are chosen for cost/reliability reasons or not.
Diff issues are not a major problem on the lighter Arrmas like the Typhon etc despite also having the more efficient but slightly weaker straight cut gearing... so I wonder if its maybe more of a spec carry over from the Racing buggy the Typhon is a descendent off?

How you been running that fluid so far ?I run 100k/500k/500k (front/middle/rear) on my typhon and it grips, jumps, corners, and rips the straights at my local track. However due to the heavy weight oil and increased resistance the dogbone input cups and the T part of the dogbone that goes in the cup is starting to wear a lot and I already ordered a new set as i see them failing soon.

If I were you I would swap the front and rear diffs around, so it'll be 80F/60R. That should help it to become less tail-happy with minimal effort ?How you been running that fluid so far ?
I running 60/500/80 and it’s good weigh, full throttle little squirrelly some what on point, cornering is great, I may jump up to 80/500/100
That’s a idea worth trying ? actuallyIf I were you I would swap the front and rear diffs around, so it'll be 80F/60R. That should help it to become less tail-happy with minimal effort ?
