I always get confused with this, but what is the rule for pinions?

less teeth more top end? or the other way around?

What about temps? less teeth lower temps? or the other way around?

Last question for the day. Does thicker diff oil add resistance, and as a result increase ESC and Motor temps? I have an ongoing debate with another 410 owner.

The idea behind a thicker diff oil is to purposefully add resistance. It will generate heat throughout the drive train. I personally do not think it has much influence on the motor or ESC in my experience . . .

Diff fluid only makes a difference thru the turns allowing the wheels to turn at different rates, the driveline diff to diff never moves so it never puts more of a strain. your diff ring gears still turn straight, any additional load is on the internal diff gears

Hey Joel
Saw your doing pretty good at CRCRC. Whats your setup hotshot?

Anybody got tuning advice for the diffs? How long between rebuilds/fresh fluid? When to go thicker or thinner. My buggy came with 7000front/5000rear.Going to be racing at Raceworld Raceway which is med bite indoor.
Thanx

Some basic diff fluid explanation..

I have been running, 5k / 3k and like it. I run mostly on tight and technical track. If I were to go to Raceworld, or Leisure. I may bump the fluids up a bit. most likely try Jorns 10k / 10k setup.

I used to run clips in my old body, but it's just more of a convenience thing.

This is not completely true.

The diff fluid doesn't come into play until the wheels need to role at different rates.

And, yes, the diff fluid will not have much, if any, effect on motor or ESC.

Ive been running 10/7. Mess around a bit to get there. Just couldnt get the hang of it with the lighter stuff. Car is super easy to drive with 10/7, and with some good orings the fluid really statys nice and clean in there. Very impressed.

The car is dope on the track

I think it depends on the surface, because I disagree. It was easier to drive with lighter oil. I started with 15/10 and settled with 5/3. Did everything in between and tested for about a year. The lighter oil helps keep the car straight. When the car leans and puts pressure on a particular wheel it has some give. Where as the heavier oil will make it more posi. Made the car less twitchy with the lighter stuff. To each their own.

I left it as it is right now, which I believe is middle.
