More traction to front wheels?
 

Folks, what is a way to get more traction on the front wheels?

I think I need more on-power steering to be competitive with other MT's.

What are the possibilities to achieve this?

Stiffen the rear suspension.
Soften the front suspension.
Install a rear sway bar.
Smaller, thinner tires usually help as well.
Any or all of these may help you.

What about changing the oil in you diffs ?.

Heavier oil in the front will usually increase on power steering as well.

More weight up front like a reciever pack mounted between bulks or on shock tower.

Try 30k oil up front and 20k in the rear that should be pretty good.

If your interested I would say consider the X-wing driveshafts.

Now the famous question... What are X-wings?

The x-wing driveshafts are a oneway driveshaft system similar to the rd quick turns

Quote from the maker
"These are very similar to the RD center one-way accept they replace the front driveshafts. The RD just dis-engages the front end where as our set up dis-engages the front wheels separately from each other. This will allow for maximum entry steering and with a 300K front diff, max pull from both front tires off the corners."

You run them with a locked front diff to achieve the best possible entry and exit steering. With a lock front diff, you have great exit steering, but will push horribly on entry. This is where the one ways in each axle (the X-Wings) come into play. They allow you to essentially have "zero diff" when entering a corner, allowing maximum entry steering





Think of it as this lol. When going into a corner and applying the brake each tire spins seperately. However with a heavy weight diff oil, as soon as you give the throttle its as if having a spool in the front, both tires will engage and you will shoot out of the corner

Wherdo you get these?

HEHE I'll tell your for a discount.

Check your pm's.

Keep in mind I do not have these. YET

I will get them asap. As I love a great turning truck!

I made my own custom one way driveshaft! Works flawless and was an easy mod. But since I'm on buggy style shafts, I don't use it anymore.

PLUS: A one way front shaft does nothing for your ON-power steering.

may not for on-power but off power such as what you do in corners its excellent.

I;ll have a set as soon as I can.

Sure, I agree. But right now I'm looking for on-power improvement.

I keep my self made shafts in my toolbox, and I might install it when I'm on a tight track, though.

you may could try lead weight w/double sided tape (like rc planes use for ballast)

my freind is making somethign exactly like that!
