not to sure what I should do with the diffs tho? do I lock them? My car drifts okay untill I want to change direction quickly and then I just spin out. maybe it will ne different on the smooth cement? ya I want to see that video as soon as possible.

u can always try locking your rear diff, its easy on ur car no glue or funky stuff lol and see what it does... can always put it back!

ya, for the drifting you want to lock your back diff, will help the back behave a bit more and be a bit more predictable,

but if your car is spinning out like you say i think it might be your front diff, it tends to make the cars "snap" around, try tightening your front diff a bit

it helps plenty on the TT-01's.
used to drift my TT-01 with only a locked diff and tightened front with out any problems.

best way to tighten the front? bearing in mind this is a race chassis aswell.

dt_insane · dt_insane on Tue Apr 21, 2009 11:39 am

to be honest the best would be to get another chassis to drift with - the two use very different setting like shocks, gears, motors etc

locking and unlocking the diffs puts strain on the parts and causes ware especially on stripping the screws and diff covers...

the best way is to put something in the front diff like a very think grease or perhaps like i used to use prestick... however on a race chassis it is not going to be very easy to take out... affraid

so in all hoensty a chassis for both is best and you dont need to go mad with hop ups especially for the drifting...

i used a Stock standard TT-01 for months before i got my TC4 or TA5... cheers
