Here you go feking awsome
Got rally wheel setup ......it huge
as far as I can tell the center diff is a one way. If I lift it up and hold a set of wheels it locks going backwards couple perv pics

Nice it should have come with an lsd in the center unless the 2 speed requires a one way. My buddy has the pro bite in his ftr and it works really well once he understood it

 

[DougStar]

There is some papper work other than the v5 instructions must have a closer look sure it will tell me what the center diff is

 

[Seandonato73]

Those one way diffs are great for off power turning, let's the front wheels spin freely when off throttle then locks back up when on throttle. Great idea.

 

[DougStar]

If spin the center diff gears backwards there is no engagement, spins freely.....
Got to be a one way difff

 

[John Parks]

This really makes me want a w5. Not sure if I'd want the ultimate though or just the pro version

I’m pretty sure the lsd acts the same way. I’ll check for you when I go outside

You can get the pro with front and center lsd for about 1950

Wow! nice rig Doug! I really like the xr5s style

 

[spents]

congrats doug, really really nice rc

I messaged Maher at cardinal to see if the 2 speed uses a one way diff. Did they send you everything for a standard 1 speed or give you a deal on the 2 speed because they didn’t have to include those parts?

 

[Haric]

I thought they came with center lsd
I’ll check what mine does when I spin it, but I’m pretty sure it does what you’re describing @DougStar

 

[misterleon]

The one way diff is like $150 cheaper so if they sent it to you then you got scammed

 

[Haric]

@DougStar should have these markings on the case. Also I just checked the mcd website, and yours should’ve came with a center lsd. Same part# as mine. I think the 2speed gear is an optional part

 

[misterleon]

Mine doesn’t lock in either direction. I think the lsds only lock once torque is applied

Yeah that’s what Maher at cardinal just said

 

[BBoyz]

Congrat on the arrived of your new money pit!!! You should take that 50% off when purchase your XR5 for them shocks because it just the matter of time you will upgrade it for racing. But sometime you can get it from FB for used.

Yeah that’s what Maher at cardinal just said

after spend poop load of money on mine, i earned my knowledge the expensive way

There is some papper work other than the v5 instructions must have a closer look sure it will tell me what the center diff is

before you buy any parts ask me first, i may have it
you got what you had to have for 2 speed bro, just drop in the engine and race!!

[BBoyz]

[misterleon]
