what diff oil brand is everybody using? I keep seeing where people post what diff oils they like but nobody says what brand. I use AE oil and I have heard the AE oil feels thicker than PT oils by about 2. So if I am running AE oils 7-7-5 should it feel like 9-9-7 PT oil? The manual calls for 5-5-5. Does anybody know if those are closer to PT or AE? I just don't want to go too heavy by using AE diff oils. Do any of you have experience in this? Thanks!!

When I asked Tekno, I was told the kit diff oils where about the same as PTRC. I was running 775 PTRC. Now I'm trying 10/10/7 PTRC. Only one race, but I like the 10/10/7 too. If your track is loose, you prob want to run lighter diff oils. Else, I would think 775 or 774 assoc would be good unless you are having problems.

How much grease should you put on the differential ring gear inside the gearbox? some people say put a layer of grease all the way around on the gears, others say just put a few dabs of grease in like 4 different spots. How much do you need? Whenever I clean my diffs it is all over in the diff case. Is this normal?

How come none of you guys run 8 or 9 diff oil? Also how much thicker are AE diff oils compared to pt oils?
#1253
Also what mm are the camber turnbuckles?

Ran this today for first time, indoor medium size with medium/high grip clay. Ran the kit setup and wasn't expecting much but honestly the buggy was pretty damn good, only change I made was ride height at 27-27. Next time out going to play with things more was trying to get things worked in and freed up. Another nice kit Tekno, great easy build and decent performance right out the gate

Yea I put it together for outdoor this summer but decided to break it in on our indoor clay being still winter here. Buggy was actually not far off from the feel I like on indoor clay with the stock setup. A few tweaks and some diff oil changes and my guess is it will be a rocket for me. Hobbywing XR8 with SMC 1900 motor works very well, with 18T it is very smooth with great power everywhere.

I saw a lot of setup sheets were using pink springs in the front and red in the rear. Are those springs stiffer or softer? Also why do you think they run them for so many different tracks? Also what springs do you guys run on a bumpy medium grip track?

anybody tried to put more weight on the rear end or to change the layout ? does it calm down the rear tires a bit ?
