8ight-T Race Roller Prep

8ight-T Race Roller Prep
I searched for 8ight-T and eight-T and 8T but there are so many variations of the name I didn't find my answer.
I just got my 8T today, I want to get it ready for the track on Wednesday night. I'm wonder what those with experience with this truggy are running for differential fluid weights? Do these diffs need servicing right away? Most factory built kits barely have any fluid in the diffs. What else needs to be done to it out of the box besides checking all the nuts and bolts? Any other tips to get this thing dialed in quickly?
Edit.. and the how is the default shock oil weight?

I have owned 3 race roller T's prior to today and every one of them was built right from the factory. My 4th one showed up today from modhobby and the only changes I'm going to make to the truck is to put the thinnest rear swaybar on and a m2c 3/3 rear plate. That's really all the truck needs.
Get out and run it for a little while and get everything broken in good before making any changes. That will give you a good baseline on how the truck drives. Then if you feel like you need to change anything you will know what to go back to for a GOOD base setup........

You're right about leaving it as is and then making changes based on the driving of it. Since I have their setup sheet I'll know where it's at and can adjust accordingly. What was the reason for the 3/3 rear plate?

That was a sweet deal from Modhobby. I tried it on another item on sale and it said the coupon wouldn't work on "sale" items. Not sure why it worked on the 8T unless they wanted to compete w/ Amain.

Not that you don't know this, but I didn't when I first started servicing mine, but you don't have to disassemble the entire rear end to pull the diff. You have to take off the sway bar and then the cover screws and then the diff will pop out. It saves some time if you are wanting to get it on the track in a jiffy.
Just thought I would add that.
