| i have an extra ball diff set with me which came with the kit.. placed on the rear then replaced it with a spool. maybe ill replace the front one-way with the ball diff for now. one-way is important for drifting so i will still need replacement. but when i use the evo with FOW for touring i spin out when breaking lol so what i do is just release the gas in advance when entering corners, no late braking! i cant really combine the two setups so i really need a seperate kit for touring  |

| Agreed, ball diff or spool required for touring, one way for drift. I dont think I got a spare ball diff with mine,.....damnit. |

| King Bandit.... Allow me to rephrase my previous statement, for the sake of clairty: Touring - Front spool, rear ball diff Drifting - Front one-way, rear locked ball/gear/spool. |

you can always adjust the front toe setting to lessen the understeer.. having a front spool will help you car be more stable in a straight line.. but still, this depends on the driver's preference.. you can not tell somebody that his settings are wrong as per your driving style..

Toe in will make it more stable in a straight line, toe out give more steering when entering corners.

| take for example my TRF
i built the Diffs in the wrong way so as to under steer the car on turn in, so i have to use my power to lose grip, but having understeer on a belt means that im gonna have stability on the straights, it also means that once i start a drift i have to fight to keep the car sideways using combined throttle and steer since the front is pulling harder the the rear like what lance said......each drivr has their preference, i like an added challenge....instead of trying to get the kit to suit you....why dont you try adjsting your driving style to the kit, there has to be some sort of compromise between machine and driver, but you still have to strive to get the best setup you can and from there yu start to adjust your driving style.....
being a DK doesnt happen overnight, it takes some time depending on how your circumstances are between yourself and your kit |

| so... since this thread is about ball diffs... how tight you should apply to your diffs for touring? my current set up now is F/R ball diffs super tight  from my understanding, tight diffs means less spin of the wheel that has less traction. so more push while going thru turns. less spin, less lose of power right? |

| yip less spin does equal more power!
Generally, you can set the front diff a bit more loosely, as most of the drive force comes from the rear of the car. You can also use the tightness of the front diff as a tuning aid. To make the car easier to drive, run the front diff tighter. This will smooth out the steering and make the car pull out of the turns better. For more responsive steering, especially in tighter turns, try running the front diff more loosely.
When running in high-grip conditions, and wheelspin isn’t an issue you can set your diffs tightly.
You can check ifyour diff is set correctly by holding the spur gear and one of the driven wheels and try to turn the opposite wheel—it should be very near to impossible to do so. |
