Whats up guys, What are the benefits and differences of the FG Diffs. I think having a locked Diff would be good for Drag racing. So does that mean the adjustable Diff Is the way to go? or should I just use the regular Diff with really thick Oil? and what does the Viscous locking differential do?

Thanks for any answers to these questions.

That is a good question. i just picked up the aluminum diff but not the adjustable one. I put some heavy silicone in it and see how it goes

basically thats what I was thinking. the aluminum Diff with heavy oil, But If the other Diffs are a significant improvement I would purchase one.

Locking your Diff will only hurt you, because the power these cars make all you'll be doing is wheelies or spinning out of control from take off.

I think It depends on the version FG you get. For example there's a regular BAJA and there's a competition BAJA, the Marder and the Marder Race.The upgraded versions may come with various aluminum parts, Diff case, shocks, etc.

If there is more aluminum than plastic then you have a race or competition version. You probably do not though but if you do you made a super SWEET deal
