Help choosing center diff oil weight
This will be for my Ten-T's center diff. Currently Losi just ships the Ten-T with some grease in the diffs but I'd like to go viscous at least in the center diff. Running this weekend I noticed that way too much of the power was transferred to the front wheels, I'd like to get some more power to the rear for snappier hole-shots.
I was thinking about going with 50k oil, does that sound feasible for what I'm doing or should I be exploring a different weight?
TIA for the help.

There's no way you need (or would want to run) 50k on a TenT.
Check the first page of the thread, there's a couple setups there.
3/3/2 or 5/5/3 would be fine to start with. (Front/mid/rear).

i would go about 10,000 at most

if you go heavier in the center it will equal the power out to front and rear

I would start 5/5/3 then work your way up until you find the sweet spot. But just changing the center will even out the power

i am running 5/5/3 in a 1/8th scale nitro buggy. works good for me

Thanks, I'm going to start with 5/5/3 and see how I like it.
This will be my first time using a viscous diff setup, I've always just kept them greased as per from the factory. But I like the idea of being able to choose where the power is directed.
With the 5/5/3 setup about how much power do you estimate the front vs. rear receives? Ie. 50/50, 60/40, etc?

40/60. front/ rear. that would be my guess
