Looking for new Mini

[Arct1k]

I ran a 2600 on 2s on my son's - He's only 5 so I didn't need it crazy fast... worked fine....

Less quality though as you'd expect $40 motor vs a $110 motor

Since my rear diff was leaking, I decided to change the diff oil in all 3 diffs.

I'm going for 1K rear, 3K center and 3K front.

When I did the center and reassembled, I could hardly move the diff when holding both ends.

Is 3k too heavy or is there a problem. I reassembled it like said in the manual.

Lots of crt.5 guys run 3/3/1. There should be resistance, but not so stiff that it barely moves. Sounds like you have a mechanical issue. I've run as thick as 7000 in the center diff and it did not sound that stiff.
