oh and diff oil changes does make a pretty big difference. I run 30K/Front, 10K/Rear.
Lighter oil in the back causes less "push" in the turns, which means you turn faster and tighter with light oil in back.
So in essense you could run 10K/Front, 3K/Rear and it would be like 30K/Front, 10K/rear, or about 3 times lighter oil.
The reason Revos use heavier oil in the diffs than say ..Buggies... is because the diffs cause alot less "diff action" than buggy diffs. Meaning a heavier oil is needed in revos to get the same effect as a lighter oil in a buggy.
Revos come stock with 30K/Front, 30K/Rear diff oil. That's an ok start point to get used to your new truck, or for all out bashers. Once you get on a track with tight turns you will want the lighter oil in the rear diff so you can carve your way through the track faster/tighter.
