1:8th Buggy Differential Setup Introduction - A Video From The Invisible Speed Online Course 

Serpent xrs8 pro not bad too

In the online course

Tires are nr 1 but shocks are more important than diffs.

Thin(ner) than what you have now, thick(er) than what you have now. More info in the course

@@invisiblespeedrc ROFL!😂

Without knowing what vehicle you’re driving and under what track conditions, JQ’s answer is as close as anyone culled get you. Perhaps a more useful answer though, would have been to use whatever the instruction manual advises because every single vehicle from every brand is by necessity going to have (sometimes very) different home base, as in what oils to start with. You can only go from there. What if your car needs 7-5-2 but what if JQ, or anyone else, said to start with 10-7-4? That would be WAY off, so hopefully now you can understand that to get the information you’re wanting, first you must ask the correct question. Most people don’t want to help those who can’t be bothered helping themselves first, and without you providing the required details of your track, vehicle, etc, they have to go back and forth asking you something, getting an answer (which may or may not include all the info they need), so as the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Just my 2cents worth.

@@aaronperelmuter8433 What i should say more mate, diffs are diffs even if you drive a chub or a pb car. Been looking several setups for high grip tracks varying from close to book oils to for example 20k-30k-10k, thats why i asked what's actually a thicker oil jq mentions and he answered. I was experiencing inside front wheel lift-spinning and i fixed it with another roll bar. Mayako is doing good job when ordering kits, putting together parts for chosen purpose.

Diff oils. Most brands have them and most shops sell them.

Both, but usually its the centre

@@invisiblespeedrc thanks dude!

40 new onroad videos

Most Americans don’t know me. Thanks

@@invisiblespeedrc me and all of my buddies at the track consider you to be the god of rc setup and geometry. I can't wait for my invisible speed book to get here. It's gonna be my rc bible

Brilliant content , keep up the good work

check out xrays active diffs.

Also Losi used to sell active diffs for the 8ight which did exactly what you’re mentioning.

4 diffs? Kkkkkkkk

@@R.B_B dats rite

You need to get the course. This is the introduction

I think one reason not to use torsen is when turning on bumpy surfaces when a wheel diffs out and the torsen instantly locks because of the directional worm gears. Also the licensing, weight, complexity, cost. I could see a benefit on smooth tracks like carpet, and I believe this is why we see some using XRAY active diffs that are not instant locking torsens. You may be able to get similar effect to an active diff by using shear thinning or thickening fluids depending on the action you want. For example when both wheels are the same speed, the spider gears are stationary (no fluid shearing), and as soon as wheels experience a difference in speed, the spider gears churn (fluid shearing). Silicone oils are shear thinning.

I don’t think Torsen diffs have ever been used in any international level off-road racing vehicles/race series for many of the reasons explained by Craig. Also, Losi used to sell some lsd gearsets for the 8ight and even had different ramp angle rings available so that one could alter if the lockup came on early or late by virtue of the different ramp angles. This could be altered for when under load from drive torque or brake torque. But ye, Torsen diffs have never been anything too much more than a gimmick really. Ever wonder why no WRC team, no major DTM, V8 Supercars, BTCC, etc. teams have ever been known to run them and win consistently with them? No? Well, the very fact that in all those myriad race classes no one uses them and certainly no championship winners, says it all, imho.

No

@@invisiblespeedrc No you have never tried, or no this doesn't work or not true?

@@gihonda127 It's not a thing.

@@gihonda127 that's only for bashing when you want to lock the diff. not applicable for race applications.

@@OldfartRC1 Thank you, that makes more sense, and that helps a ton.

You are behind the times. Get the mayako mx8

@@invisiblespeedrc will do

@@invisiblespeedrc yeah I know I am Im trying to get into 8th scale on a budget at the moment is the The car still supported like are you guys gonna keep making parts for it or are you guys gonna discontinue it

@@phantomx.t.v6610 There are still a lot of parts available. I thikn you would be good tbh. Where are you?

@@invisiblespeedrc I’m in the middle of the us Missouri to be exact

I know it pissed me off too.
