7/10/3 truggy and 5/5/3 or 5/7/3 buggy. Those are what I usually run.:nod:

Andi know this is the truggy thread but can you give me some pointers for the buggy too. 5-5-3? In the buggy? I didn't want to post in 2 threads. Thanks. J know the electrics are different but I was told to pu. 10-7-4 in it and it smoothed it right out. Any advice is apprecitated.

I also pulled my Center SD in truggy for this past weekends race and used the norm 7-10-3 and really didn't notice much difference. The track was favorable for the SD as it was rather loose and somewhat bumpy but i honestly didn't feel the need for the SD...the Standard diff worked just dandy...Took Tq and the win to boot. ;)

buggy i've always ran 5-5-2....Ive been tempted to try 7 in the center but rarely have the traction to justify it.

Maybe this weekends JC race in Omaha might change that tho. :nod:

I guess I'm lucky. We get to run on high traction all the time around here.:D

I broke the belt in my bump box today. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to after run the motor and am scrambling to borrow one locally for that.

I want to buy a second bump box, any suggestions?

Ofna truggy start. Best box around. Twin 775's.;)

Thank you. I called the local shop and they have them in stock. A broken bump box was not something I anticipated, but having two of them solves the problem.

Diff oils for me = 7/10/3 for the truggy, 5/5/2 for nitro buggy and 5/7/2 for electric buggy.

X2 on the Ofna truggy bump box. Add a lipo and its dialed. :nod:

How do you guys like running 3,000wt in the rear diff opposed to the standard 2,000wt diff fluid?

When I tried 3k it made the truck feel a little "pushy".

2 fades too quick.. once the 3 wears in it wont push

Yep:nod:

The 2k breaks down very quickly, especially in the truggy. The 3k will feel a tad less responsive at first, but once it wears in a bit, it stays right in the "golden zone" for much longer than the 2k does.;)

What truggy diff oil's would you guys normally run for loose\slick track conditions?

Thanks for the suggestion on the bump box. Its way better than the RTR box. My engine is so tight.

You guys are making me want to race.

Thanks for the diff oil suggestions. I am going back to reg diffs and see if I like them still.

question i just replaced all the screw hardware with the titanium kit and titanium turn buckles and camber links , now with losing so much weight should i run lighter shock oils or springs ?:confused:
