How to reduce drag in CRT.5 diffs... - 12.20.2007, 10:03 PM

I have and E-CRT.5 with the RCM extended chassis. The handling is very good, but I'd like to get it better. I have two related areas I'd like to address.

1. The weight of the truck lurches forward when I let off the throttle at the end of a high speed straight. This makes the truck very controllable, but I loose a lot of ground to other standard 10th scale vehicles that free coast better.

2. The rear of the truck drives a bit too square. In most tight turns the rear tends to slide out too much. It is very controlled and usually only goes 90 degrees, but it looses a lot of speed when this happens.

I think both are related to the setup of the 3 diffs. I'm currently running 2K F, 3K C, 1K R. This gives a really nice on power feeling, but it seems to have a bit too much drag causing the vehicle to slow too quickly when off power and the rear to slide out when turning.

I don't have much experience with 3 diff vehicles and I'm wondering if I'd be better off with closer to the stock diff oil weights. Stock is 1K/1K/500. I did not even drive the vehicle with these weights because everyone was recommending 3/3/1 or 2/3/1.

Q1: If I change my oil weights to 1K/2K/500 would I maintain a similar on power feel, but reduce the drag I'm getting from the system?

Q2: What affects drag the most? The front and rear diffs or the center diff? Or, are the all the same?

Q3: In my quest to reduce drag will I be giving up too much in accelleration?

Thanks for the help,
