Default Slash 4x4 play racing and bashing diff setup?

I plan on play racing/bashing my Slash 4x4 Ult. What would be a good all around diff oil setup for my basic racing needs as well as still need the power to be transferred to wheels while bashing. At this point, I doubt will be doing any competitive racing, mostly just demo derbo racing with the local guys at the track. Should I even bother with the center diff if that be the case?

Imo when bashing the center diff is a preference call.

I like 50k front and 5k rear with the slipper for bashing

2 reasons: it feels like pulling in the direction the front tires are pointing and the ability to whip the rear end around. I thought it sounded too thick but i dig it

Maybe i'll start with 30k front as is, 100k center as is and 10k in rear to remove the grease and see how that feels.

Yeah, thats what I meant by leaving front 30k, 10k ing the rear diff and just throwing in the center diff 100k and see how it feels just like that.

I run on an indoor clay track which is sensitive to diff oils. 5k front, 5k rear, center diff a must. If I run 10k in the rear, it will push in tight corners almost doubling my turning radius.
