Whats the easiest and fast way to clean out old dif fluid, clean all parts?

I know every buggy is different, but what dif fluid combo are you current running?

You need some type of dunker rig and fill it up with Naptha fluid.

Red- I ran 5-5-2 at our track last year and it was very good when the track was dry. But at higher grip tracks like Full Throttle when its wet, it was diffing out to the front. Gives it a real wandery feel on power. 5-7-2, helped with that, or 7-5-2 if it was loose going into the corners.

i use K&N air filter cleaner, it works awsome, cleans great, also use the
oil and cleaner form the "charge kit" to do my filters too, i like it better than regular air filter oil.

5-7-3 diff oil. very good base setting for 1/8 buggy....

Very awsome link for tunning your diffs, lots of great info....

Nope, have way too many bills due next week, wont have any change to get down there, plus the sitter that we use is babysitting for us tomorrow night for the korn concert and doesn't want to sit for me this weekend, would go by myself, but sara has to work on saturday 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, so its another F****ng no go for me once again........

i know dan, typical derek right? LOL

. Once everything settles down, and cash starts flowing again, i should be aloud to make some series races, sara just started back at work last thursday from maternity leave, so i have been taking care of all the finances, so its been a little tight.

Put it this way, i havent even had the time or money to take the harley out yet this year, but like i said, i should be able to get back on track here quick.
