    I have run my 1/10th scale touring car with different diffs over the years for both touring and drifting and I think you can't have a setup thats works perfectly with everything, but completely open diffs are almost never good. I prefer to have a one-way diff in the front and a locked diff in the rear. It works well with carpet drift when it acts like a locked diff when accelerating and dosen't shift the weight to the front when braking, but it does break traction on the rear wheels whitch isn't always good especially at high speeds.

    • @LyhneRC
      @LyhneRC  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s an interesting setup, I’m not sure if you can get one way diff for these small cars. I agree that you can’t have a setup that is great for both race and drift, those are just too different. We also race 1:10 touring cars in a club, and there everybody uses locked diff in the front and diff with oil in the rear

    Interesting I'm planning on running open diff in the back with some oil as I have a locked rear and open front but oddly I do not get the same result and in fact the opposite I have trouble with a lot of understeer but I believe it's what you suggested with the diff being too tight. I'm going to try out light oil front and heavier for rear for more realistic handling hopefully

    PSA, you do not need to buy locked diffs to achieve this. You can save your money and put a tiny piece of paper between the spider gears and the main gears inside the differential and it will function as a locked diff. You’ll have to take it apart to change it either way so might as well save a couple bucks.

    • @LyhneRC

    To lock a diff open it up cut use balls of small paper to fill it then turn the diff to force the paper inbetween the gears. Fill the rest squueze as much in as possible. Then screw it shut again. Twist hte diff to ensure it is locked. You don't need to buy a fixed diff you can do this to any open diff. Open it and fill it with anything, blue tac as can be removed or just silicone or glue it if you want it permanent). Hot glue the cogs, anything to stop the gears inside working. Poke a strip of paper between the gears then force rotate the diff to lock the cogs. Put it back together. And free.
    Options for RWD may differ but for these cheap AWD ones I've got, converting to RWD will just spin on accelleration if you leave the front diff open. Locking both front and rear is cheap and easy as it is but has a disadvantage that the car will brake immediately as soon as you let of the throttle though so entry into the apex or entry to the bend it will suddenly brake. The whole drift will jump start between tracktion and autbraking - on a prpoer set up the fronts will roll to prevent this. This allows a more fluid drift. No front free- rolling if you lock it. Front one way is the best diff in the front, it allows forward free-roll to prevent that sudden braking but progressive lock-on when acceleration giving you grip to apply the front drive train to keep the car washing wide on an exit of a bend. No open diffs for drifting as you can't maintain a slide consistently, it will understeer on entry and drift wide with understeer on the exit. Explains why the "track style 989" has open diffs. and the 969 which was drift has locked diffs. HTe cheapest wa to do that hence fron and back are already locked. Just for anyone wondering my findings. Unless you are going to apply a drift-steering mod and drift-gyro, RWD is not an option of this scale (not that this was mentioned jsut for more info, I leave mine all AWD. If looking to buy all those to this a driftable car you may as wwll just buy a better class of drift car you may as well just buy a miniz of rolling drift chassis, than buy bits and rebuild this into something proper. In short best is to lock rear and get an adjustable one you can add to the front. try it out and experiment with front being different tightnesses, so loosen or tighten with the screw to your best outcome for your use case scenario. Failing that lock if you don't like any of them just lock the front go and enjoy it. I liked the video, nicely done.

      Hi, what a nice comment. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge. Locking a diff permanently is easy, especially these small ones, I experiment so I prefer to switch from open to locked diff instead of modifying an open diff so that I can quickly change back. And I agree that a one-way diff in front is probably the best, but I haven't seen them available for this car, have you seen that? A diff with adjustable lock is available, so maybe I should try that out. Again thanks for your input 👍👍👍

      @@LyhneRC Thanks for the response. For one way I've researched (See Studio55 YT channel, and Beaver Hobby Channel also) you can use one from a MiniZ, MiniQ (cheaper version from aliexpress/bangood) or ther is another make I can't remember but you then need 2mm longer drive shafts. Again those can be bought from AliExpress. The K969 and K989 have shorter CVDs as the original front diff is a little wider. You can also do a one spring front suspention conversion (yet to do that or fit a one way diff in anything). I recently bought a TT02D kit and a lot of hopups to build it how I want from the beginning and the bits so will be trying one out on those. Can't get a front one way for my 1/10 HPI Sprint 2 as that is so old they can't be found anywhere anymore. Anyway dont want to ramble off topic but a couple of YT channels to check out on the small scale (love anything I can use indoors so since getting back into the hobby the 1/24/1/28s have something aoiuyt them i just really like. Zues Garage if you want to see a K969 built into very special things (even has his own adaptable chassis length to fit any model of car. Fully custom (3D printing is next on my list as a result of his channel), well worth a look if not just to look at them in awe!

      ​@@djmandrick Thanks for all the details, I will check it out how easy it is to put a one-way diff in the K989/969. Right now we are busy in the National Championship in 1:10 Touring cars (th-cam.com/video/valLznIuC7A/w-d-xo.html). I have one Tamiya TT01. Before you spend too much on upgrading one of those, consider buying a real racing touring car instead. When a new model is released the older used touring cars is sold cheaply. Any pro touring car is so much better than any TT01/02. It a whole other league. Alternatively a brand new Yokomo SD Sport (cheap version of pro touring car) can be bought new for around same price as a Tamiya TT01, but if you want to drift it's a bad choise as it has limited steering angle.

      @@LyhneRC great advice thank you. Its just me faffing about and want something to zoom round my kitchen/patio :D I've got a sprint 2 flux from back in the day and a Hyper ST that i never quite got the electric conversion running properly (no mounts or electric options were officially available back then). As for the tamiya it was a kit from ebay that came with a diferent motor and some hop ups they just never built it. i just bought a couple of others bits to build it "drifty" from the ground up. (like finding that a front one way) that i saw for really cheap. My friend does a wicked air brush paint job so it's mostly to get his shells on it. i got back into RC recently after about 12 years of "life" but there are no tracks or anything much near me as I'd love to get into it. I won't bother with steering angle adjustments for now (3d printable though it seems) but I do have a basic gyro reciver on a dumbo RC to put in it which is all I need. I originally started on the crusade of "can you build a small kitchen drifter for less than a miniz" which is where all the k989/969 research went (settling on the 123141 but that brought it's own differnces. The answer so far is "sort of but with different caveats!". :D

    Now I have ran about 9 tests with each an open and a lsd and a locked and everyone of forms will always tell you that locked will hurt cornering ability however with my tests in dry,wet and icey conditions the open dif will actually want to spin more than a locked giving off a “one tire fire” now with the limited slip it is basicly the best dif for just about everything however the test was to see if the locked was as bad as people say it is and shockingly the awnser is no the locked dif while sure it require more skill from the driver however in a corner you can swing the rear out a bit and sence both wheels are spinning at the same rate you can pull out of a corner even faster and even in tighter corners the locked dif by far was the most consistent with in terms of behavior and so the awnser of people telling you a locked dif is bad and sucks at cornering has been proven false what makes a locked dif bad at cornering is the cars over all set up and not the dif you run no matter the dif make sure the car is tuned and set up to run with it

      Thanks for sharing your results. I fully agree with you. Locked diff is the most consistent, and that’s what you need. If don’t get the same response from the car on the same input, then you can’t push it and control it. Also setup is crucial when you go serious, as a competition racer, we spend lots of time on getting the right setup. Without that you are not going to win
