Fioroni Tractive IV diffs exposed - 10.17.2008, 04:23 AM

some of you have asked me about my Fioroni Tractive diffs and how i like them so i thought i would post what i have found out. when i first put the Tractive diffs on my buggy i just pulled out the stock ones and put the Fioroni ones in. before i put the fioroni diffs in though i disassembled them to put on the acer racing ceramic bearings. so i was able to see the entire assembly of the Fioroni diffs

it wasnt til now while building my truggy that i have taken apart the losi stock diffs and here is what i noticed. they are exactly the same as the Fioroni diffs. the only difference is that the Fioroni diffs come packed with GREASE, not oil. the grease is equivalent to 300k diff oil or higher essentially giving you full lock up. and of course the fioroni diffs look much nicer but that is it. inside they are part for part identical but surprisingly the fioroni diffs are heavier by about 10grams, due to the alum casing i am sure. and let me just tell you, at the track, my buggy cannot turn worth a shit cuz of those fioroni diffs packed with grease. so i am going to have to change that out.

anyway, save yourself $750 (for front, center, and rear diff) on packing grease and stick with your stock diffs.

just thought i would post this cuz i have been asked by several and i am sure many have wondered when shopping around, "what does that fioroni diff do? must do something awesome for $250." well, thats what i thought and....well you get my point.

aside from the diffs the other parts from them have been great!

anyone interested in some $150 fioroni diffs?
