Default 8t brushless gearing and diff oil

I just got my 8t together, running a feigo 8xl with a 5cell. Im not sure what diff oil is in the diffs, but the front wheels keep balooning, im not racing just bashing so id like to keep that down. Do i need to change the center diff oil? Also what gearing should i be running, i have a 13 tooth bell housing that came with the tekno conversion, what spur gear should i run?

Thanks

ya just jump the center diff to 30k, more if needed.

13t is a good start, depending on Kv rating... I run a 2200kv motor on 4s w/ 13t, I wouldn't go over 15t with my setup. Your 8xl on 5s will be faster, so ya stick w/ 13t unless you need more top, I wouldn't go over 15t. Stock 48t spur is fine.

My motor is 2084kv. I just tore the center diff apart, no diff fluid. I am about to take the front and rear diffs apart and check. What fluid should i put in them?

Thanks
