????????
Sorry fore the last pic. Its my FG 1/5
I have 2 YOKOMO GT4
But my friend gave me the TEAM MAGIC car so i hoping fore som help her
Now In sweden its vinter so i have no chans to test the car
And THANKS to KODAK HODAK

• To make a gear differential LIGHTER, fill it with thinner oil.
• To make a gear differential HEAVIER, fill it with thicker oil.
EFFECTS OF FRONT GEAR DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT
Lighter Front Differential (thinner oil)
• Decreases understeer
• Decreases stability under braking and acceleration
• Increases chance of traction roll
Heavier Front Differential(thicker oil)
• Increases understeer
• Increases stability under braking and acceleration
• Reduces chance of traction roll
EFFECTS OF REAR GEAR DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENTLighter Rear Differential (thinner oil)
• Decreases on-throttle steering
• Less acceleration if the grip is there
• Less predictable car (cars with very “loose” diffs have a tendency to understeer heavily under throttle and turn-in oversteer as soon as you lift)
• Less on-throttle oversteer (snap-oversteer)
• Less turn-in understeer
• Less stable under braking
Heavier Rear Differential (thicker oil)
• Increases on-throttle steering
• Better acceleration if the grip is there
• More predictable car (cars with very “loose” diffs have a tendency to understeer heavily under throttle and turn-in oversteer as soon as you lift)
• More on-throttle oversteer (snap-oversteer)
• More turn-in understeer
• More stable under braking
TRACTION CONSIDERATIONS:
* The higher the traction, the lighter the diff oil up front, and the heavier at the rear.
* The lesser the traction, the heavier the diff oil up front, and the lighter at the rear.

Ok I am getting over it now... 
Good News!!! All of us G4 and G4S racers will be represented, and I might say very "well" represented, at the Winter Nationals in Florida by Bobby Flack, Mike Blackstock, Mike Dumas and Chad Phillips!
I know they have the support of Team Magic as well as all of us around the world that meet here! I want to wish each of these men the best of luck and hope they kick some serious butt down there with the best car on the market ---- G4S!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I hear an AMEN?????? !!!!!!!!!!! Wow not even Sunday and I am fired Up!!!

Just a useless bit of info:
My local club championship winter series, mostly run on damp or wet track.
13 of the top 20 cars are TM cars, including the top 4.
(oh! and I am just about leading it, not sure how though

G4ser - Amen !!!
It would be even better if they could join our family and help out as well.
Nimo - Good going bud ,guess the consistancy paid off !!!
H - I havent seen the older cars but I would say that looks like a hopped up G4 Evo.

also thanks for helping me with my setup problem i raced yesterday and did very well!!

when you have out grown the trinity, you should think about new technology in the G4S, its a great car, youd love it
Sam, Amen!! and man that avatar looks good

Using the solid front axle can be beneficial in low-grip conditions and especially wet or damp conditions. The drawbacks to using a front solid axle are less off-power steering, and the car becomes more sensitive to tire diameter differences.
Overall, using the solid front axle makes the car quite easy to drive.
With respect to using front oil diff, read a couple of posts back I edxpalined it all there.

I gotta say if the car handles any better than it did last season I'll be tickled pink.
It already performs far better than I do....
