Hi all

I have set up my carbon mission diffs 1/4 turn loose as described in the
build instructions but when I turn the wheels by hand, the rear wheels feel a bit stiffer than the front. Should I leave them like this or try and get them both to feel the same way?

I run stock on a slippy wooden floor surface.

Cheers

I race every friday night on a polished wooden floor, I would readjust the rear diff, to be as loose as possible, without slipping, you can make them very smooth, but it takes tinkering. Running the rear this loose makes the car less twitchy, found it could be almost undriveable some nights, but i would leave the front adjusted according to the manual.

I race on a slippery like melomine floor and i adjusted the front 1/2 turn and the rear 3/4 its just about spot on,b ut each to there own style.

Thanks for that. I have changed to front - standard
and rear 3/4 turn and will see how I get on.
