What's up guys. I finished all my upgrades on my DBXL. I'm a long time racer in nitro and electric. Want to race 5th scale now. Any ideas on diff and shock oil set up?
 
Well here's what we run and car was fast 50000 front 100000 center 30000 rear and 7000 all the way around in shocks with DDM springs hard
But be ware if you're track has big jumps and your on the gas it is going to break the pins in the drive shafts
 
I run a stock 26 out of one of my 5ives and I want a 320 but the buggy may not survive it also I don't think it will run for 20 min with the 320 and a stock stock gas tank its small I run a 28 BZM in my 5ive and it will barely run for 30 min with twice the gas
So let me know how long they will run
That's the way I'm looking to go to

I also have a Baja 5sc. I think I will swap engines and see how it likes it. The 5sc is cool but I like 4 wheel drive a lot better. I screwed up and put a solid diff in the 5sc. Went off some big jumps and snapped the outdrive axles. That sucked.
 
I run diff oil from my atv's in my diffs, its super light. I got tired of breaking stuff with my obr 30.5 prostock. Still handles good enough for a non racer. I also run 7k in my shocks. And I get just at 20 min on one tank.
