i have trouble driving with a one-way

the tale kinda slides out when i try to pass someone really quickly
when your comming out of the turn and you go a littleon the gas it slides out. same with comming into a turn

what are some tip/tricks

setting tips would be great too

alfa

turn your throttle trim up so that your car is always moving forward slowly, so the oneway is always being driven.

Calvin Ng

thats a really good idea


how do you drive it though???

some people say cruise into the turn.... have no clue what they mean

sounds like you have a fairly poor setup, like your rear diff may be far too tight. I had a similar problem when my rear diff had a bit of internal damage which made it act very stiff, it almost makes the car feel like it's rear wheel drive.
You don't say what car you're driving but find someone with the same car and get their setup, check the build of your car. With a decent setup and reasonable grip a one way will be stable enough to allow some braking when needed, but your car has to be in good condition with no tweek.

Setting the throttle trim to allow a small amount of throttle when the stick is at neutral can help, more so with a stock motor since it has more drag brakes. Personaly I rarely use this trick, if I do it's because I'm having problems getting the back end planted, otherwise drag brakes can be very helpful to scrub speed if you find yourself running wide.

You need to be smooth with a one way to get the best out of it, and if your car is working well you can find you need to train yourself to get on the throttle earlier than you feel is natural because the one way will give you the on power steering to get through and out of a corner.

i know this might be a silly question but how can you tell if your diff is too tight

Herminator

hold the spur gear and one wheel so they don't move, then try turn the opposite wheel, it should slip a bit with reasonable force, if you can't get it to slip or it is very tough then it's too tight, if it's easy to make it slip then it's too loose.

yeah ok

thanx

im running on smooth pavement the tire choice for our track is the yokomo 138's

im running a trf414mII
i switched to a diff but i really would like to get the one-way going


no matter what your tale has to slide out right???

414 should be pretty neutral handler.


If your rear end is THAT loose...

1) make sure your Drag Brake is turned Off

2) run your rear diff loose (as loose as possible without slipping) or swap it for a gear diff from a TA04

3) how's your rear tyres wearing? Check your camber.

4) remove rear sway bar

btw, forgot to add... the ONLY time a one-way car should respond differently to a full-4WD is when you go into a corner & jam on the brakes. This will swing the tail around immediately.

On power out of the corner, the one-way car will grab & understeer a little more than twin-diffs.


Otherwise it should handle just as good.

Calvin Ng

waht kind of driving style should you have when you enter/exit the corners

WC

Smooth driving is the main key... your car will look very "boring" as it just does laps and laps - keep your overall speed High. No lurid slides and opposite-lock...


I only adopted one-ways recently myself... it now seems better than running tight diffs (used to run tight at back, loose at front).

With TA04PRO dual-diffs, I used to brake into corners and power out... but had to be careful not to overpower and oversteer on exit. With one-way (e3 & Yok), you have to brake in a straightline before you enter the corner... then once you've gone around 1/2 the corner, you can floor it all you want and the front just hauls away - no throttle skill required.

There's also extra arsenal with one-way... if the guy you're chasing runs too wide on a corner, there's now opportunity to nip in on the inside, stab the brakes to swing the tail around then scoot off. It is only 50:50 chance you will overtake him as you'll be losing a lot of speed doing that, vs how much punch you have picking back that speed.

Calvin Ng

thanx a bunch you guyz


hey wc do you turn up your throttle

just asking sounds like your know your one-ways

davioh

when i use my one way...i don't break....i just slow down earlier and go into the corner...make it very flowing...i hav anj evo and i think it's prolly similar driving style as the 414 (correct me if im wrong)

dynoman007

try locking the rear end in a lil more (adding traction ) by laying the rear shocks down in the top of the shock tower ...

Cole Trickle

In addition, it can be very useful to alter the rear roll center to add more rear roll.

Or using different tires front/rear.

I find it's nessecary with at least one degree of toe-in in the front. Less will make the car very twitchy.
