Best Chassis, etc for a e-revo racer

[coolhandcountry]

I posted video for the simple fact is.
You stated the 10k diff oil was just no good.
Yes I know it shifts alot of power to the front wheels.
I know I could go up in diff oil weight.
You can loose or gain power thru a diff by not the weight of the oil
but how much you have in it. If you don't get a diff completely full
the diff will operate and push power to less traction area easier.
I have 30 k oil in my gmaxx and it rides a wheelie like crazy.
I am loosing speed and power for the back bumper is dragging.
Don't worry. That is not my fastest truck.

Let's figure out a way to change the resistance of the centerdiff without the need to remove oil.. (thickness of this oil is track related.. ) a torsen diff won't do what an adjustable one can do. Team Magic did put something in their M1 diffs, but i don't think that's a durable solution. It will wear fair quick IMO..

Thats a good idea. One of the cooler ways to do it is electronically change the oil viscosity, can be done on the fly. It will get to that one day, where you can loosen it for one section of the track.

And yes, I know the gmaxx CAN have a center diff, several already do, wasnt my point. 300K is not locked by any stretch, like the typical Gmaxx which is also shorter.

Coolhand, I cant stress enough how much I didnt mean the truck is not fast, its at the top of the class for sure. I thought you were posting it to show how little power made it to the rear wheels. Those low oil weights are meant for nitro which build power slightly slower and hit slightly softer which greatly affects the oil choice. I can remove the rear driveshaft and still raise the front tires, but whats the point. I like the feel of an almost locked diff, I raced the E-maxx for years, and the feel of losing 70% power just doesnt feel as fun to me. I like the hard accelleration. Anyway...does anyone care this much about diff oil to discuss it this much? I dont, I am done.

Cen racing has a LSD diff were two of the spyder gears are fixed on a plate & do not turn while the two other spyder gears do. Would this help at all ?.

Is there any way to adjust the amout of slip?

Wouldn't that simply lock the diff?? The spider gears have to be able to turn for any "differential" action, otherwise, it's an expensive spool isn't it?.
