For those running the gear diff in the front, what is a good starting oil?
I've been told 500,000 cst any other suggestion? I'll be running on med- high traction Asphalt.
Cheers..

So the maiden race didn't go as planned. I hit the wall a few times. Busted Front right CVD pin. Also rear blades were worn using 7turn and 13.5 turn brushless for approximately 10 runs.

The good news? I am averaging 1sec faster than the last time I raced there. And posted my best lap time ever on that track!

First are you running 2 or 4 gears?
I was running 4 gears with 500,000 cst and didn't like it, too much torqesteer, I had better lap times with the spool. My 2cents

The really soft kit blades are useless.... We got free replacement here with very hard blades and they seems to work well. Only have 2 runs with the new blades and so far no visiable sign of wear.

Haven't run it yet but I'll be going with 2 gears.
I've heard mixed reviews on oils & putty.

Is there a new blade (based on the same plastic as the hard arms I imagine)?

yes, much much harder. I don't think it is same materials as the hard arm. The colour is black (not dark grey like the hard arm). Very hard, had 3 more runs with the car last night and the blades still look brand new.

Do you guys find that the bearings that come with the steering bridge are wobbly?

These are a good clean fit and work a treat. Better wearing as well.

Cheers
