One way diff

[siv429]

Hey guys, how does a one way diff work?? And what does it actually do??

Cheers

Mechanically, a one way works like a bicycle freewheel hub.

On a RC car it gives drive to the front wheels when the motor is driving and allows them to freewheel when you lift off.

This has the effect of giving more steering as you turn in and less as you power out.

It's an expensive hop up which most of the time isn't much use if you are not racing.

They do show up on ebay a few time for around £10-£20. but there really onlt needed for racing, as when you instal this, as said above the front wheels freewheel when there is no power going to them, which also means only rear brakes. very hard to stop a car quickly with rear brakes only. better off sticking with a ball diff in the rear and a gear diff up front, this will get rid of some of the understeer.

My Schumaker SST has one thats adjustable from full freewheel to solid, It cost over £40 some time ago and is usually in the solid position!

So that'll be expensive extra weight which isn't all that useful DOH!
