The thick front diff fluid mellows out the truck quite a bit on high speed sweeping turns as well as allows you to be able to run a "bar" type tire in the front, such as Suburbs, Barcodes, etc. With the 10K front diff oil, the Suburbs would be extremely fast through the infield but way too aggressive in sweepers. So much that if you turned the wheel just a bit too far that the truck would want to spin out or traction roll. After I changed the fluid I could drive the truck harder into the sweepers without fear of it rolling or spinning, and then to make up the steering in the infield I switched to the more aggressive Suburb tire instead of Holeshots.

Over all I think it was a great change and I am super happy with how my truck handled in qualifying as well as even the main event!

Thanks for the feedback and for verifying the 60k diff in front Chris
Are you also using the same diff setup on indoor clay tracks?
I will be running my SC10 at WCRC (Indoor Clay) and Hot Rod Hobbies in Saugus (Outdoor Dirt).
I wanted to find out what would be the best setup for both tracks.
Hoping that 60k/5k would work for both tracks....
Also - What did you end up settling with for tires on both Indoor Clay and outdoor dirt tires?
Thanks again for the feedback Chris.....
