Poor mans limited slip diff

[nitroheadjones]

If you don't have the money right now to go out and buy 2 MCD limited slkip diffs you may want to try this. I have a MCD Rally car and I just recently put in a new modified motor . Too much power for me I had to change my setup I unlocked my front diff and removed the putty from the rear diff. Kyosho USA just got in a shipment of super heavy diff oil 500,000 and 300,000 . I put the 500,000 up front and the 300,000 in the rear diff almost locks the diffs up but lets them slip just enough to make your car really handle. I reccomend this to people who run their Rally car mostly on road . If you are looking for heavy diff oil Kyosho USA has it right now terrific tuning aid.

Ofna also carries 500,000 and 300,000 dif fluid.

Also "playdoh" or "Silly-putty".......as you said 'Poor man's' there is a poop load of options to halt the diff.

True, I tried the silly putty and it locked the diff but I wanted the diff to slip just a little so I went back to the super heavy diff oil.

In the USA. nitrohouse sells 300,000-500,000 Kyosho diff oil. Here is gthe link http://www.nitrohouse.com

a good balance between putty and thick oil is common high temp grease (the red stuff) I run that in the center diff on my AWD nitro truggy. this way if it picks the front wheels up under acceleration, the power is still going to the rear wheels and the fronts don't balloon up so bad from over spinning.

I also ran the red grease in the diff of my on-road hpi baja, but it was causing a lot of understeer so i went back to 50k oil

in the redcat rally I put 100k front and 50k rear and it was locked really hard. great for drifting but got expensive on tires fast

I run 10,000 FG shock oil in my 5T diff and it slows the diff down alot.
