Hi there,
I own Himoto bowie 1:10 4wd electric light weight ( Plastic chassie ) RC monster truck.
I modified it to a brushless motor. Now its runs pretty fast. I also use Pro-Line Badlands 2.8" wheels.
I would like to change oil on the diffs. I would like to know which setup is recommended for my truck? (diffs front, center and back ).
Thank you,
Uri.

Diff oil weight is dependent on vehicle, driver preference, tires and terrain run on. I looked up your truck and it doesn’t have a center diff.
If it was me I’d try 30k in the front and rear. In the rear maybe add a drop of shock oil and fill the rest with 30k, having a lighter weight in the rear helps increase turn in.
