Default 1/16 E-Revo Lube

Does anyone know what the stock oil weight is in the front and rear diffs?
Stock oil weight in optional center diff?
Are the bulkheads lubed? If so, with what?
How much lube goes in these things? A couple drops, full to the top?

Thanks

I called Traxxas and the guy said he thinks they come stock with 30,000wt up front and 50,000wt in the back. He also thinks the center diffs come with 100,000wt.

Also while I'm answering my own questions again, the stock center diff oil weight seems too light so he recommended 500,000wt. And the bulkheads only need a bit of grease.

Well I filled the center diff with 500,000wt oil and it's much thicker than I thought. It's as thick as peanut butter and nearly locks the diff. I'm guessing 300,000wt would be better.

Just try the peanut butter! I would go with Jiff or Skippy in creamy. Maybe switch to chunky if you drive primarily on-road.......

I can see the conversations at the track. "So, what kind of lube are you using in your rear end??" "Skippy racing peanut butter, in creamy."

Questions?? Changing the diff oil?

How do you change the center diff oil? I've been trying to figure it out for a while now and this is the first mention of it that I've been able to find.
