You usually have to run a bit heavier diff lube in the center if your are using motor brakes (I assume you are). I run 10K in the center of my buggy (about 7.6 lbs) and it stops great. It worked OK with the stock 7K, but I got a bit better acceleration and more consistent braking with the 10K. I run 30K in my heavy (12 lbs) Muggy, any less and it won't stop. For racing you will likely want as much diff action as you can get (lowest weight), and still stop well.
