REVO Diff Oils & Nitrage Help
Hi all,
This isn't strictly Revo related but a Revo Race Truck with centre diffs are the settings i'm looking for. I've recently purchased a Tamiya Nitrage kit, It's a 1/8th Truggy/MT hybrid thing with 3 diffs, the kit supplies one bottle of 30000wt diff oil and instructs to use this in all three diffs but it's like treacle, almost solid, I don't feel happy using 30000wt front, centre & rear and figure a Revo is similar when set-up with a centre diff - what are the generally accepted diff oils for a Revo? Buggies seem to be something like 5,7,1 etc (front 5000, centre 7000, rear 1000) from what I have read but a Revo seems more comparitive to a Nitrage than a buggy. Any tips? Itching to get this built [8D] Thanks

RE: REVO Diff Oils & Nitrage Help
30,30,30 would work in a heaviercar like the nitrage. But in the nitrage I would go 10,30,5 to start.
Wouldn't be a bad place to start with the revo either. Or maybe a little lighter, perhaps mix it for about 7.5,15,3.5
5,7,1 works in buggies because their tires are so skinny. You have to let them spin or the'll NEVER go straight.

RE: REVO Diff Oils & Nitrage Help
OK, thanks for that, confirms my suspicions. I'll dig through my oils and go for a lighter set-up than this 30,30,30. Cheers.
