Default Basher truggy diff oil weights??

Diff oil weight is all over the map on the forums so I figured I'd ask you guys. Got an rc8t-ce with castle 2200kv run on 5s. Right now running 7-10-5 and while I love the way it handles front tire ballooning is ruining my tires. Thinking of going up 100k in the middle but don't know what to do with the front and rear if I did. What say ye?

10K to 100K is a massive jump. I'd go 30K and see how it feels.

Run 7-10-7 and tape the inside of the tires. You will get better results
with tape than oil changes for what your after.

Not sure it would as what I am looking for is to avoid all the power being unloaded through the front wheels when I'm on throttle.

If you're *only* bashing around in loose dirt/grass, etc. and not on a track.

Thicker in the middle will prevent the front end from unloading as bad.

Thicker in the front will give you more on power steering in general, and prevent the inside tire from diffing out as quickly when turning. So one tire won't balloon really quickly.

All you can do is "slow down" the rate at which the diff action happens. It's still going to happen when you're out hooning around.

I would say 7,15,3k or 5k in the Rear since you Bashing.

And yes added a strip of Tape around the inside of the tires make a big diffrence with the balloning and i race.
