slipperential + MMM or RX8
 

How does the MMM + slipperential setup compare to a non slipperential equipped Rx8? Since one of the big things was the smooth bottom end of the RX8, does the slipperential do a good job compensating.

Get the Rx8 and the slipperential. :) I have driven the MMM with and without the slipperential, but havent driven the RX8 without the slipperential yet. IMO if you race get the slipperential. I used it on Sunday and had some really great sucess with it. As the day went on, traction went down and I just kept backing off the slipper a little at a time and iwas able to keep that nice controlled feeling all day. This was the first outdoor race of the year for me so it was really the first time I used it to adjust for changing track conditions. Until now i just dialed it in for the high traction indoor track that remains pretty consistent all day. It worked like a charm.

The slipperential looks money that for sure, costs a good chunk of it too! :smile:

I am toying more and more with a vehicle change, but, the slipperential from what I understand will not work on the vehicle I am looking at (Hyper 9E)

Do you know Jhauz if Mike is looking to do slipperentials for other vehicles that don't use the current diff size?

Yea, it wont fit the small size diffs in the hyper9. I dont thhink he is planning a small size version ot it, but I guess its possible. He will have to answer that for sure. The MP9 also has smaller thn normal diff sizes and wont fit it either.

I was liking that Hyper 9 alot also and really toying with getting one for a while. I actually placed one on backorder at nitrohouse, but called a couple days later to cancel it. I am way to invested in my xray at the moment to start looking at another ride right now. I'mm gonna drive it for the next year at least before I think about getting something new. Hopefully by then there will be a whole slew of cool e-options out there.

if I was gonna get something new it would be the hyper9 though.

shot mike a pm over about it as well as the center oneway setup similar to the XX4 to simulate braking bias. Not sure if he has gotten my emails as I haven't gotten any responses on those.

I hope its something that he may have on his plate to look into for both the smaller diffs and the clicker oneway setup. I do know that glassdoctor is giving it a look too.

Right now though, I'll probably stick with the MMM till the prices come down on the RX8. $100+ to change per system is just a bit much right now.

hmm...interesting.

does anyone know if the slipperential will fit a .5, X-1 CRT and/or a Hyper 7? I really wouldn't mind trying one out.


anyone?
