So that diff oil set up is the best on track and to bash? I have the stick diff oils and bashing is great, but on track it's not so great. So 5,7,3 will be great? Do I need to order new gaskets? Also I don't have I think it's called napthane or something like that to clean out the diff oil, what else can I use that's a common household chemical that I can use to clean out the diff oil?

Diff oil depends on what the buggy is doing; how it is reacting or not doing what you want it to is what determines what diff oil you should use.

cleaning
Nothing special really. When it's this nasty I take out the two motor mount screws and the two that hold the esc down, unplug the esc from the receiver. That way I can lift the motor and esc out. Only reason I take the motor out is it's quick, plus makes it easy to clean the chassis in that area. Takes about two mins and then I hit it with a garden hose. Much easier than taking the whole buggy apart and cleaning each piece. The weather will be getting much better in a few weeks, then I'll completly strip it. Put in new bearings and do the difs at the same time.

I need your expertise... My vorza doesn't move freely anymore after I let go of the acceleration, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I checked my mesh and its good, when i move the buggy back and forth it moves good. Also there's a weird clicking noise that I hear, but I cant find where its coming from. Please any suggestions would help me out, thanks!

Sounds like it could be one of several things......
pin coming loose from a CVD
bad bearing causing drag
a diff gear may have chipped off and causing one of the diffs to lock
I would say pull the center diff and try to figure out if it is the front, center or rear section where the "drag" is coming from.

oh yeah, when the buggy is lifted up (not touching the ground) then the clicking noise is gone, but once its on the ground again I hear a clicking noise. I cant find it!! also I don't know why my buggy doesn't roll freely. Do you think its the bearings? My vorza is still new about 3 months old and I always went to clay tracks.
