Anyone run a solid diff in their TCs?
 

Has anyone experienced running a solid in the front of their touring cars? Any good or not? I want to see if it would help my car pull out of the corner a little harder, or if it will just make my car run wide in all the turns.

It is kind of a production to access the diffs on the Xray FK05 so I figured I would ask, might try it anyways early Sunday to give me time in case I need to swap it back out. I am just going to remove the rings and balls on an old diff and replace with doublesided tape. Pretty awesome.:sneaky:

I've tried it in a couple different cars... my cyclone and IFSR. Both times the car just would not turn into the corner.. kinda sucked. Now with my Xray it came with a spool in the front and it turns like a champ. Still trying to get used to it but I think I'll get it eventually. Most guys that have driven it are surprised it is a spool.

I have a TC4 and I ran the spool in the front a couple times it works good if your on a high speed track with good traction. you can come in hard and the push is ok and when you go out of the turn just pull the trigger and go for it. With the spool you have to commit completly to the exit. so if your on a small track and you have to ease out of the turn you will be breaking traction and the car will tend to as I call it, "tic toc" the front will slide as you come in and then the back will slide as your in the turn and then when you punch it the back will fall out again. So you have to slide into the corner and then make the front drag the rear end out by just yanking on the power..that is what has worked for me. but in all honesty I pulled the spool out and just run the front diff a little tighter than the rear and that seems to work good all around. For some real fun put the spool in the rear and do some drift racing LOL :)
