Gear diffs
Could someone give a bit of an explanation to the gear diff/oil thing?
First confusion lying in the fact that everyone is saying diff oil, but the setup sheet from, I think the japans, says diff grease. So, is it grease or oil? Oil is viscous liquid. Grease is semisolid. They're 2 very different things and the words are in no way synonyms... I'm assuming it's actually grease because I doubt those diffs are sealed up well enough to hold oil. Yes? The setup sheet posted a bit ago said 20000 in the front (but the kit comes with 2000 I believe judging by the parts list, so is 20000 a typo?), and 7000-10000 in the rear. Another typo meaning 700-1000? Or is the parts list I received from Durango a type and it really is 20000? What does a lower number mean, thicker or thinner? Where can these different weights be purchased since Durango apparently only carries one weight. Thanks! Chris

All the rallyX cars use oil - so theres many places to buy it. You can use grease or oil - yes they're sealed up.

All the 1/8 kits use oil/fluid so can't see why these can't as they are sealed diffs

no typo look for 1/8th diff oils they go from 500 right up to 20000 i believe, and everything in between, higher number is thicker oil,diffs seal up nice and tight,

Thanks guys, had no idea. I haven't touched a 1/8 buggy in ages, and back then the diffs, at least the ones I had, didn't seal up at all. Hell, the gearbox itself barely sealed up, lol.
So what would be good starting points for front and rear? I'll be on grass/very loose dirt, medium size track, fairly rough. Should I just put 2000 in both and see how it goes? Thanks again Chris
