    For better audio (less echo) consider a mic closer to you or some pillows qults, rugs, or sound absorbing pannels.

    Do they make spools to replace the complex difs? Why wouldn't you want the front and back locked for 100% traction and power to the ground?
    If one tire is slipping and the other is doing nothing; how's that useful or helpful in a stock setup?

      On high grip surface fully locked diffs will make it very hard for your car to turn.

      @AaronBittenbender Před měsícem

      Fully locked diffs is more for going straight. Like speed runs or drag runs.

    I was amused by the secrecy and burying the lead on the secret object. But Kev Talbot has been making videos about this for a long time, not sure it's unknown.
    I'd be interested to hear more about how the stiffer center diff directs power more to the rear of the vehicle. And when folks might want to lock other diffs. My understanding is that the stiffer the center is, the more evenly distributed the front and rear power is. But what I don't understand is why you might want lighter center diff fluid. Wouldn't that cause the car to "diff out" more easily in all cases? When is a locked center diff a disadvantage?

    • @TheBod76
      @TheBod76 Před měsícem +1

      If you car is oversteering (powersteering by having the back wheels slip) a lighter center diff can work against that.

    • @RCexplained
      @RCexplained  Před měsícem +2

      This video doesn't suggest it's unknown. The title is you should try this if you want locked diffs. Quite transparent about that in the title and description.
      There's a video coming out that will compliment this one answering some of your questions.

    Hot glue works better honestly...completely reversible..all you need is a pick to remove...and it locks it up real well and doesn't brake down.

    @JamesGrates Před měsícem

    Much better off installing a spool last much longer and no slip at all good for speed runs

    That’s to much for a 1/8 scale I do that to my 1/5 kraton 8s on center diff only

      It's a preference. I'm going for a locked diff on the 1/8th scale.
