What type of diff fluid/oil for your FLUX?

[SteGra]

Am in the middle of rebuilding my son's Flux differentials and waiting for the parts (gaskets, seals, bearings, bulkhead).

An HPI customer service rep recommended 1000 wt diff fluid/oil, but most of my son's driving is NLRC monster truck type races and freestye, so I think I will go a little higher. It will aslo help him control the truck better (he's six).

Am thinking of putting in 50k/30k for front/rear to keep his tires from unloading and ballooning. However, now that it is colder, I'll probably go with 30k/10k.

Some of the other forums (rcnitrotalk, rc-monster, rcuniverse) use lower numbers but are mostly talking about Savage X, XL, etc. which makes sense because the rpm is a lot lower for a nitro than brushless.

For those who have rebuilt Flux diffs, what weight are you using for your diff oil?

i am running 15k front and 30k rear in my x but i like a truck that can flat track or drift which ever you want to call it. if it was reversed it would be a good set up for control i get a little unloading of the inside tire on the 15k diff but i can alomst drive it on 2 wheels with the 30 k

I'm close to mickey, I'm running 30 front and 10 rear in my flux. seems to work great for my bashing needs.
