WTF now I gotta contact AE about this, is it something that has to be installed before I continue or should I stop and wait until I get that part? |

The 60K was definitely not a typo. I have actually been running 60K for the past couple weeks in my truck and have been extremely happy with it.
The thick front diff fluid mellows out the truck quite a bit on high speed sweeping turns as well as allows you to be able to run a "bar" type tire in the front, such as Suburbs, Barcodes, etc. With the 10K front diff oil, the Suburbs would be extremely fast through the infield but way too aggressive in sweepers. So much that if you turned the wheel just a bit too far that the truck would want to spin out or traction roll. After I changed the fluid I could drive the truck harder into the sweepers without fear of it rolling or spinning, and then to make up the steering in the infield I switched to the more aggressive Suburb tire instead of Holeshots. Over all I think it was a great change and I am super happy with how my truck handled in qualifying as well as even the main event! |
Anybody gotten any real wheel time with the Castle 3800 and have gearing suggestions thus far?

Chris (or anyone else who might know) how does running the 60K compare to making adjustments to the front clicker or running the 19 Tooth Front Over-Drive or Rear Under-Drive Pulley?
If you run a front overdrive or rear under drive that will allow the front wheels to pull you out of corners, would benefit most on loose tracks. The Clicker helps by allowing you to turn into corners better by allowing the front wheels to free spin while you are hitting the brakes allowing the back tires to lock a little and slide you around tight corners similar to how a 2 wheel drive vehicle would turn a corner. |

The 60k diff fluid would effect steering like tightening a ball diff would. Thicker fluid would be the same as tightening your diff down.

So 60k in the front diff on a very tight indoor hard pack clay track a good thing? The SC10 4x4 has landed in Australia today! Thanks Tower & UPS! |

It does nothing unless you run the over tray... continue on for sure. Just use a smaller screw in that spot.

I would say you would want light fluid up front for a tight track. Reason being, if you have thick fluid it allows less free wheel between the front wheels, almost like a locker in the front, which will cause you to push in tight corners, a lighter fluid would allow a tighter turning radius because of less push, allows the outside wheel to spin faster then the inside wheel.
