diff oil
 
Seems most setups run heavier oils in the front diff and lighter in the rear, has anyone tried heavier rear diff than front.
reason being if you run a looser front ball diff this gives more steering
so would this work with geared diffs?
I race on a wooden floor and found running lighter oils makes the car easier to drive but running light rear oils makes the car looser out of corners.

From another well known forum-

Front
Thinner :

increases steering into corners (off-power)
if oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent, especially it can lose forward traction (and steering) during acceleration out of corners

Thicker:

increases stability into corners during braking
increases steering on-power at corner exit

Rear
Thinner:

increases cornering traction
increases steering into corner
Thicker:

decreases rear traction while cornering
reduces wheelspin
