Depends what you want outta it. The lower the fluid the better it will turn but running on grass you want a tight diff. I liked 50/100/50 but swapped to 300/1mil/200 and it Diggs but turns wide.

ah alright, just looking for a decent setup for having fun, bitta drifting, jumping fast acceleration to get some jumps that have short run ups
 
Then you already know what to do. I was in your boat last season. Spent a couple hundred on oils. Seems like your gonna go down the same road. Grass has so much grip you want something heavy. You'll understand when you try out different weights. Just gonna cost ya.
 
Think I run 50-100-10 in mine with Zen32, I'll dig out my original post of when I got it as I noted my fluids used as reference.
BTW I'm using the stock 30DN Signature tyres which are a soft/medium mini pin mainly on grass and graded soil.
Just checked and I do indeed run 50k-100k-10k in my diffs and now run 400cst weight oil in my shocks.
this is the link to my thread detailing what I've done with my truck in the 18months I've owned it.

But your racing no? Running grass wouldn't you go heavier?

yeah seen your thread before, read through it before i got mine. will consider upping the front a bit then in the future, same tires and surface i'll be running for a while only difference being im on the stock 29cc motor for now
 
No not racing just bashing, but sometimes bashing at the track.
I was running the stock motor until late last year, then I put a longer crank in, then finally replaced it with the stock Zen G320. Same rpms as the 29cc but has more grunt low down for pulling out of corners.

Fluid viscosity is down to personal choice, I live in a coldish climate so the fluids generally stay thick anyways and take a lot of warming up.
If your in a warmer climate your gonna want to thicken it up a bit for the same handling.
It all depends how your gonna run it, if mainly flat with no jumps then run it soft, if jumping your gonna want to stiffen it up a bit.
The lads I bash with have all different engines in their rigs and fluid viscosity in their diffs.

Run what you have for now, then start playing with 1 thing at a time until your happy with it. Don't forget to take notes of what your changing.
