I think the 1780 on 6s would provide plenty of speed for me..tires can be used as a gearing tool also. I have a v1 4092 in my Kraton XL, 1650kv.. I haven't run the XL much since I finished it. Since I don't bash anywhere but home, I haven't really found much use for it yet. Perhaps winter..snow bashing with big tires should be good.@KnowAir, I saw this posted on sale at rcjuice.

And then I remembered our conversation about the pinion sizes available for the EXT...
I think the thick fluid is used to provide maximum forward thrust from all 4 tires at any given time with little regards to handling. Better for stunting..That's a thought... I had considered just re punching holes closer together, like you mentioned. Maybe worth a shot.
I know what you mean about thinner diff fluids. I used to run my HPI bullet as a street basher a while back. Diff were running basically "moist" after all the fluid had leaked out. It would diff out to one wheel all the time on heavy throttle, But consequently, it would also corner on a dime! When i finally went it to service and refill the diffs, all i had at the time was 30k. So the front got 30k. Needless to say, cornering suffered
I'm not sure why bashers always use heavier weight oil than racers, maybe because they run too much power? Desire to wheelie?
I'm with you. That's why the MT410 is so much fun. Watching the suspension just soak up the bumps while continuously putting power down is super satisfying. Half the fun is the body roll and the risk of flipping over! Takes more skill to keep the lumbering MTs on 4 wheels when cornering fast! At least that's what i'll keep telling myself.
