Effects of Differential Oil

We find a good starting point that will work for most of our 4WD Truck's are:

• 30K Front
• 200K Centre
• 7K Rear

Front

---

Thinner

• Increases steering into corners (off-power)

• If oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent, especially it can lose forward traction (and steering) during acceleration out of corners

Thicker

• Increases stability into corners during braking

• Increases steering on-power at corner exit

Center

---

Thinner

• Front wheels unload more during acceleration

• Decreases on-power steering (reduces oversteer)

• Easier to drive on rough tracks

• If a high-power engine is used you could waste too much power and sometime cook the oil in the center differential because it overloads

• More off-power steering

Thicker

• More all-wheel drive effect

• Better acceleration

• Increases on-power steering (reduces understeer)

• Better suited on high-bite, smooth tracks

• Car can be more nervous to drive especially if a high power engine is used - you might need to be smooth on the throttle

Rear

---

Thinner

• Increases cornering traction

• Increases steering into corner Thicker

• Decreases rear traction while cornering

• Reduces wheelspin

Set Up

Guide from Losi

A good starting point that will work for all cars is, front-centre-rear, 5000-7000-3000.

This is a popular basic set up, I tend to like to run a thicker diff in the front, to smooth out the aggressive steering, and a thinner in the middle, to smooth out the acceleration and punch, so 7000-5000-3000.

Diffs can make you fast or slow. Everyone has their own driving style, and it is good to try different diff combinations for oneself, to see what feels best, and what is the fastest combination. Normally thinner oils will make the car easier to drive. On slippery, bumpy tracks thinner oils are better. On smooth high traction tracks thicker diffs will be better.

Thicker diffs give more acceleration, more cornerspeed, and help to make the car more stable on a high traction surface. On special tracks, that are really smooth and high traction, asphalt like, the car will be a lot more stable and fast in the corners if all diff oils are made thicker. Front and centre by about 10,000 compared to the normal set up, and rear maybe 5000. Because the track is so smooth you can get away with it.

The front diff mainly affects steering on and off power, and acceleration, the centre diff affects the way the car handles bumps, and acceleration, and the rear diff affects rear traction and steering.

Front Differential

Using thicker oil will make the car turn more on power, out of the corner, and accelerate faster. The car will turn less into the corner, as off power steering is reduced.

It will feel more stable, and can be easier to drive in bumps. If the car is twitchy and feels inconsistent on a rough track, a good idea is to try a thicker front diff.

A thinner front oil will have the opposite effect, less on power steering, more off power steering, less stability. Usually the oils used in the front diff range from 3000-15000. 5000-7000 is a safe bet on all tracks, with the car it is also possible to use thicker oils as it has so much off power steering, so 10-15k will work on most tracks.

Centre Differential

Using thicker oil in the centre diff makes the car accelerate a lot faster, but it can be harder to drive in bumps and on slippery tracks. It gets a bit confusing though, because if the track is soft, and it gets really bumpy, a thicker centre diff can actually make the car skip over the tops of the bumps, and thus it will actually be better and faster.

But most of the time, thinner centre diffs are used for blown out tracks. A thick centre diff oil will also make it easier to get on power steering, as the rear of the car can be made to slide out when on power. The centre diff usually has the thickest oil of the three diffs, or the same as the front.

The oils used normally range from 3000-20000. A safe bet is 5000-7000. Normally never go below this, because I feel that It will loose too much acceleration, especially the first snap when I get on the gas. And if a thicker centre diff oil is used, the front diff also needs to have thicker oil, so the car still remains stable under acceleration.
