Used to be 10K up front was pushing it and now 60k? I tried 100K in my current wheeler's center diff and heavier oils in both diffs and I feel like it's just added resistance for my drivetrain and my motor and ESC are cookin' by the time I finish a run.

On my son's v3 I have 7000F/3500R and it's so smooth and perfect traction front to rear on every surface type. Only a minor slipper adjustment is needed from time to time when conditions are looser than normal.
