So stock Rear Hex and 2mm front?
Or stock Rear Hex and 1mm front?
Thank you for your insight.

For my Driving style I brake before a corner and I try to keep a tight line around the corner then I accelerate hard after the Apex to the next Obstacle. Just like i do on my ninja Or in Motocross. I feel more comfortable doing this vs. bulldogging the turn out of control than trying to hang on to as I try to exit the apex. This is why I like a really low diff oil IN THIS BUGGY. Also, thinner oil in the rear can easier to control when accelerating. I did try many of the tekno setup. Once I went to this diff setup it was NIGHT and Day. FOR our Track. I really Thought going thinner in the rear will Increases my cornering Traction?

You'll find the rear won't come around as abruptly. It will make it a little more controlled, which is easier to catch with the steering wheel.
This is in general for a looser track which I run into a lot.
Also 4k is pretty low for the center diff in loose conditions. I generally run 5-10-5 in loose conditions. It take some of that power and puts it up front which also helps the fish tailing.
Also, the looser the shorter I run the rear wheelbase so I'd start by swapping the 5mm of spacing you have and shorten your wheelbase.
I also clamp the power down a lot the more loose the conditions are. I normally run about 60% or less punch on the vtx8 so I may turn it down even more to control wheelspin coming out of the hole to say 40%.

I thought the more Toe in the rear to a Point you gain more stable exiting on-power before for loose blown out track?
But I will try what you said. So over all rear 3 toe in with the BMI Racing pills?

I understand your thoughts on this. I know at times lower diff oil in the center can help on blown out track. And driving style do effect diff out too. I will test what you posted sir.
The shorten the wheelbase maybe what I’m missing too. Great!! And less punch. Time to poop out the viper card. Thanx sir.
All great info.
