The centre diff in my gv cage apparently has thin oil in it so if i put thicker oil in there will i get more drive to my rear wheels?
Im assuming the front wheels get most of the drive?
Also id love to get this thing to do wheelys but i dont know if it has enough power to lift the front wheels.

If you want to do (wheelys) thicker center diff oil might work but you may not have much on power steering.

Thanks alot for helping me out with all that awesome info, my eyes have been opened to how diffs work on an r/c and can be tuned to suit conditions/driving style.
Thanks again dude that is awesome info

it turned out there wasnt any oil in the centre diff it was just a tiny bit of grease But now it has 50000 in the centre it gets heaps better drive and way more 4wd action
I can only assume the front and rear diffs have no oil also... good on ya Great vigor

How does it turn with 50k in the center diff.

It didnt seem to affect the steering,it gave more traction and the power came on earlier because of the newfound tightness

You need to check the front and diffs too, its bad if they are run dry, parts will wear quickly.
