(solid) Spool Diff.
Any body tried putting spool diff. for a nitro car. I tried it on electric and its doing wonders. Are they available? or is it costume made.

He's probably talking about a front spool. The only MFG that offers one for the front is HPI. Since there front and rear diffs are the same internaly, they have a solid plug that replaces the small gears. Most people just fill the gear diff with modeling clay or somthing like that. The ultimate soultion to reduce rotating mass would be to have one made at a maching shop. I haven't seen that yet though. What I have seen is people installing grub screws in a front one way to lock down the shafts. There is a lot of information on this in the 710 thread if you want to look it up.

Kyosho have the option parts available to build a front spool for the RRR, so I`d guess theyre available for the 05R as well.
Some people are custom making spools from a front one way and "pinning" thru the shaft to lock it and make it into a spool.
Cheers

They both have different characteristics so it really depends on what track youre racing at....
The spool offers braking to all four wheels....the one way is very to use under brakes
The one way will offer very good turn-in off power as the wheels can rotate at different speeds.
I think its always handy to have one each of these as spares...try them at the various tracks/surfaces you race at, then go with whatever is returning the fastest lap times for you

spool in rear
Has anybody tried to run a spool in the rear of a 1/10 car with a one-way in the front?
I've a tc3 that has NO off-power steering but is very balanced in the S's so i'd like to find a way to get nice off-power steering and keep torque through the apex.

The best thing about have a locked front diff is that you have 4 wheel brakes. If you use your brakes alot, try it.
