Hey guys, I have a converted Revo 3.3 that runs on 4S Lipo and due to the fact that everything is much smaller on this truck for what it was designed to run, the only thing really that I’m having issues with is figuring out what weight fluid to run in my center differential to get the truck to handle the way I want it to. All I’m looking for is, I guess you could say, is almost to the point of no differential action at all but still enough to where they’re still is differential action between the front and rear wheels, if that makes any sense.
I really like how I have the center differential tuned on my Traxxas Maxx to where it still picks the front wheels up but at least when you’re not trying to pick the front wheels up under heavy acceleration, it doesn’t seem to try to spin the front wheel so fast that when the front of the truck comes down, you hear the front tires scratching pretty bad as they touch the ground. This is how I would like to get the center differential tuned in my Revo but it’s being rather difficult.
Being that this truck has a lot more power than what it did when it was nitro, I didn’t even bother with the 100K fluid that the center differential came with and before I installed it in the car, I replaced the 100K oil with 200K which is what I run in my Traxxas Maxx but that differential is a lot larger than the one in my Revo so anyway, the 200K wasn’t enough and since I found out that the platinum Revo 3.3 that traxxas made a long time ago came with a center diff differential installed from the factory that was filled with 500K diff fluid, I figured I’d try that but even still, the center diff was just still too loose.
I bought some 1 million weight fluid and put it in there after cleaning all the old stuff out and now it kind of feels like we’re getting somewhere but even still, the 1 million weight still doesn’t feel like it’s quite heavy enough so, tomorrow I should have my 20 million weight oil in that I ordere so, do I want to go straight to the 20 million weight oil or would it be good to dilute that stuff a little bit? Thanks.
