Default gearbox oil level
Which is the plug to fill the oil in the gearbox and where do you get your level from?

Also does anyone know how much oil they take as mine drained its oil out when I left the shafts out. LOL

if its a rs turbo box the plug is on the front of the box (allen key bolt) think the mtx box's are also at the front. just fill it till it come out the hole its the level.
