will thicker diff oild in rear cause wheel spin?
If I am trying to get less torgue (wheel spin) of of the corner would I want to go with a thicker or thinner diff fluid in the rear.
I am running a Losi 8T2 with center smart diff, 5k in reak and 7k in front right now. On a loose and loomy track I just can't get grip coming out of the corner.
Also, running the stock RTR clutch and flywheel with soft Holeshots for tires. Engine is a Nova 21 Plus 4.
Thanks for any help. Dusty tracks suck

thicker rear diff oil will keep it from stepping out when you get on the gas and make you go more streight. but downside of thicker rear diff fluid is it can make your car push into the turns just got to find the right combo. thicker for loose ruted tracks thinner for high bite. thats the way i go.

If the track is hard but has a slick loose top to it you need a tire lug big enough to get down to the hard stuff and get some grip. Its then you have to decide if you need super soft or soft, as you want the tire lugs to grip in the dirt. If you have to soft of tire compound it wont try to grab and will just slide...

I dont agree with the push into the corner, when you get the rear to locked down you will get a push from mid to exit under power not on entry. If it pushes because of the rear on corner entry it would be because of to much side bite not a thick rear diff. IMO

Okay, so I can pickup some Soft Gridirons... What would everyone recommend for a setup of Diffs. I also have a front Smart Diff I can drop in or I can go back to diff oils.
I will say this though, I love to squeeze the trigger so I need the setup to be as forgiving as possible. I also can drop in a 48 tooth spur if that helps tame it down.
What clutch is a good setup, currently just run the stock RTR. Is there a better flywheel or should I just start with the tires?
