I like to think of the center diff fluid as heavier makes all 4 wheels work more together, lighter gives the front and rear more separation, allowing the front tires to spin more and the rear less.

Hi Adam, sorry for a reply on such and 'old' video, but I wonder if diff setup is different for 1/8 e-buggy, given the massive torque and power of today BL motors. Could you give a rule of thumb for a 6s usage on 1700 kv? 5/7/3 or even 7/10/4 seems very light given the power. I don't race, but ride on my own 'tracks', a mix of grass (or what remains of it after lots of abuse..) and hard packed, somewhat loose most of the time. Thx a lot in advance!

Hey Adam got a diff question. Went you are experimenting with diff fluids do you change the Pinion gear to. So that each gear diff stays with its matching pinion gear or does that not really matter. Just wondering if there will be an increase of wear on the gears not keeping them matched.

Hi Adam. I have a Traxxas Sledge for racing/bashing (bit of a blunt instrument by your standards!), and on 6s, it pops wheelies at pretty much all speeds, with the front wheels barely grounded and ballooning a lot. Not my style. Traxxas stock is 50k/20m/50k (front/center/rear); would something lighter in the center like 100k be a good option, and do you think I should change the front and rear too? Over/understeer not an issue as I mainly run on large and open sandy/muddy areas. Appreciate any advice.
@FarmerFpv
2 жыл бұрын
Lighter center diff fluid and thicker front diff fluid will stop the ballooning of the front tires. You always want a lighter diff fluid in the rear than front. On my sledge I run 60k front 200k center and 30k rear. It is great on the track and bashing. You can also go 100k center if you really want to keep the front wheels down. The sledge, kraton, typhon etc. and other 6s 1/8 scales are over powered and heavy. On the track 4s is much more drivable.

Hi, Adam! The manual for the MBX8-WE states 5000-5000-2000 as the fluid setup. The Inferno MP10's manual states 5000-5000-3000. Ignoring the differences, can these manufacturer recommendations be considered the "baseline/default setup" for most, average conditions? Therefore, based on your video, by increasing front diff fluid, for example, then it would be increasing from the baseline, i.e. from 5000 up to 7000 or more? And by decreasing front diff fluid, for example, it would be going lighter than 5000, i.e. from 5000 to 3000? So in other words, what should us laymen consider the baseline/default? Thanks!

Alright be nice to me I've got a question. I have a mugen mbx6 eco conversion and I'm having a hard time finding information on the proper rotation of my wheels. I've never owned a buggy with three differentials. when I pick the car up and spin the wheels by hand the front and rear wheels spin opposite directions. but under a load or when I give it a little throttle everything works out and all wheels spin the correct direction. I just don't want to break it first run is this normal.
@adamdrake8006
7 жыл бұрын
Hello, It should like the magnets from the motor are causing the center differential to diff out. This isn't a problem as long as all the wheels spin the correct direction when you apply power.

I know this is an old question, but just in case others read it and are interested. Like Adam said, it might be as simple as the magnets holding the spur gear stationary, and thus causing the diff to well, differentiate. BUT, if it has a heavy oil, like a 7000-10000, it does take some resistance for the cdnter diff to do this - and if it's a nitro, not a chance. What I'm getting at is this. Make sure it isn't the result of a bind between pinion and spur gear due to improper mesh, or perhaps a bent pinion shaft etc. I see this from time to time when helping out novice.racers. Just something to be aware of.

@AdamDrake

When the oil in the center diff is lighter it allows the front tires to spin a lot fast. When the center diff has thicker oil, the front and rear tires spin at closer to the same speed under acceleration. If the front and rear tires are spinning at the same speed, the vehicle will have more drive and acceleration.

@adamdrake8006

Diff fluid won't really have an affect on jumping and landing, but if you need to make the rear end more stable on throttle you could try running 4,000 in the rear diff.
@AB-80X

Regarding your rear end bounce. If it's a case of the rear chassis slammi g into the ground on landing, try and increase the viscosity to get less rebound and decrease the chance of the rear bottoming out. You may even need to step up your spring rate a bit as well. If your rig does not bottom out, but is too bouncy on landings, I'd try a slightly softer spring. If there's still a bit of bounce, get the weight up one number. For example if you run 25 wt, try 27.5wt and so forth.
