RC DRIFTING WITH A - BALL DIFF

- So you either have a #balldiff want a ball diff, or heard that a ball diff would be a good upgrade over the diff that came with your #rcdriftcar . In this video I discuss some key factors that make a ball diff what useful. I also show you how it works and how to tune or gauge its effectiveness while driving in #realrcdrift scenarios. If you are thinking of purchasing a ball diff or you want to learn more about why this option exists in the #rcdrift world, then you have come to the right place.
Below is written version of the video conclusions that were made in today's video. This is so we can keep track of the diff characteristics once other diffs are tested. A crucial factor for this experiment will be the way the throttle is applied to the vehicle and how the diff reacts to that input. Note that the example "Free Spin + Free Spin" represents the left rear wheel vs right rear wheel when viewing from the rear of the drift car.
I found the best results by testing the diff while the car is off the ground and one wheel is held with light pressure.....
Ball Diff Results
1. Smooth Slow Rate Throttle Increase: Diff stays open
2. Aggressiveness Fast Rate Throttle Increase: Diff locks up
3. Constant Throttle (No Modulation): Diff is open
SKYRC Diff Analyzer Numbers
- No Load: Approx 70
- Free Spin + Free Spin: Approx 165
- Held Still + Free Spin: Approx 145
- Free Spin + Held Still: Approx 145

Are you using a ball diff in your RWD RC Drift car?
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea I was running my ball diffs wrong all these years. I will have to re-adjust all my kits now.
I’m glad to help. I was the same way. Let me know how much you like the adjustment
Great upload , Always wanted to see someone tackle this issue and You've just answered all questions , Great test method too , I've used the Ball Diff in My MST RMX 2.5 and I ended up setting it up so it was almost locked again , On the other hand my MD 1.0 (internal gears , not a ball diff) Diff is completely open and free and I like how it feels , Its really personal preference and what works for each individual . After watching this upload I think I'll try to loosen the MST RMX 2.5 Ball diff and test it super loose ,Thanks for the info , Always good to see new Ideal Auto Factory video notifications
Oh cool! I’m glad I could help! I seriously wanna get my hands on an MD1.0. Seems like its not a common chassis that people fall in love with. How do you like the car?
Thank you for watching. I appreciate it!
@@idealautofactory After Having the Chassis now for a couple of weeks with a very small amount of tuning and tweaks (no thanks to the Yokomo Manual constant addendums) its one of the most balanced and predictable chassis out there , I've driven Sakura D4 , RMX 2.0 and 2.5 and RRX , some YD2 variants , And my own heavy tuned MST RMX 2.5 , The MD is already handing as well as the RMX 2.5 with the new V1.2 addendum settings for the Manual (thanks Nez0 Bad Shoppee) The rear Diff seems to be one of the best I've driven and its effortless to do constant lines , So it Wasn't exactly love at first drive (because of the incorrect settings from the manual) But now its prob the best handling chassis I have , The way it transfers weight is really snappy and its steering rack (once setup right) is super smooth and really precise , Over all if You want a performing competition car than this is it ,
Super well explained and illustrated. Really great man, keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I know nothing about RC drifting and even I understood! Great video bro 🙌🏻
Thanks man. I appreciate the view on the RC stuff lol.
Great Video!
Thank you!
for off road buggy racing I run a ball dif. when it comes to carpet it's a gear dif but also depends, if I'm running on the clay indoor track, at my work I now run a gear dif due to how grippy it is. I always thought with a drift car people ran a gear dif locked no matter what.
Yea spool(locked) is the hardest to drive starting out for us drifters. Its also the simplest. If you can drive a spool, it becomes easier to drive the other diffs and it will also make you faster like how you said it does for the buggies.
I’m still learning so its nice to know the diffs have a similar effect on a buggy
for P tile you think having a loose is better?
I’m still learning. I don’t know yet
ever do 1/24th ?
Nahh. I’m good. Wrapping and 1/10 is my style
