5-5-3 seems to be an all around good setup.

I was running 5-5-3 but I switched to 4-7-3 to try it out.

seems like everyone starts at 553 and then goes to 573... I personally run 553 and want to run 573, just need to pick up 7 to dump it in, luck that the center is really easy

How is 5-7-3? I noticed with 4-7-3 it pushes a little going into turns but it is much more controlled exiting under heavy acceleration.

I'm currently running 3-5-2 for a very loose outdoor track seems to be working fairly well. Better than the 5-5-3 that I had in there. I'd like to experiment with heavier oils too though, something like 7-10-5 just to see the difference.

hey guys just got my scte and have been reading a lot on this forum, thanks for all the info in advance but I do have one question as far as diff oil goes when you refer to 5-5-3 setup does this mean you are using Losi LOSA5280 Silicone Diff Fluid, 5000CS, in the front and middle diff and this Losi A5279 Silicone Diff Fluid, 3000CS in the rear? sorry i know this is a newb question but I haven't had experience with these types of diffs my clodbuster you just grease the gears and call it good, I appreciate your help.

i'm using 5/5/2 on indoor high bite clay and it works really well, I also used it on indoor loose and loamy dirt and it also worked well.
