rc drifting

[$heepy]

my dad bought it.

[$heepy]

ok then you guys im starting to have a bit of a problem. when im driving along my front right tyre is free wheeling. so what im thinkin of doing is tighteneing the front diff aswell. do you reckon that will have any side effects?

[$heepy]

first problem i have had so far with it happened today. the little grub screw connecting the cog on the motor came out and just caused slip. easy fix. just found it in the chassis and put it back in.

[$heepy]

ok then i just went and tightened up the front diff to almost locked just like the rear. and now i find it much easier to drift and it doesnt spin out as easy.

also lock both your diffs will help heaps with the drifts. also getting a bigger motor will also help it drift longer.

here are some pics of my shells and some of my mates






any other questions just ask mate i'll help where i can

[$heepy]

yea it should be pretty good to drift with.

the TL-01 is shaft driven isnt it. that makes it easier than having to worry about belts aswell.

[$heepy]

ok then thought i might list out the mods that im gunna try to get. gunna scrap the red alloy idea. its just to hard to get a hold of. so im going blue.
