10k or less in the diffs, 40wt or thinner in the shocks is what I would recommend.

such light oils in such a big car, i run 7-5-2 in my 1/8th with 35/30 in shocks.

how does the xbe respond to the lighter oils?

 

[strodedawg]

7k front diff

5k rear diff

40w front

35 rear

cant wait to get it on the track

Yup that sounds like a good setup. I think you will be pleasantly surprised

 

[strodedawg]

Strodedawg, how'd your set-up work out? I've got my XBE stripped down and I'm about to fill the diffs with 3k front and rear but now I'm doubting my choice of fluid. What do you think?

 

[strodedawg]

when i ran it stock was ok on the track more than capable

7k 5k with 35 weight in all shocks drilled 2 holes of each piston out

was much better even with stock tires

front shocks in inside hole on tower and inner hole arm

rear shocks outside tower and arm

-1 camber front -2 rear

about 0.5 degree toe out on the front

wing tilted down

runs more like an 8th e buggy but on steroids

now

leopard 5692

better lipos

hitec servo

11/48 gearing

grp bulldogs medium compound

a bunch of baja springs

tekin rx8

same suspension set-up

would be at the track labor day weekend but hitting some gremlins

need pinion set screw

hpi wheel nuts wont thread onto adaptors (one does 3 won't...weird)

cam issues
