Help on Diffs or spooled High powered 1/5 emaxx revo Rally Drift

[SpeedAssault]

PROJECT ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE 6S lipo to 8S lipo

I am wondering what Real Drifters Do for drivetrain, is it locked rear ?
and what RC drfiters do ? is that locked 4wd ?

I would also like to know the Driving differences in

Front Diff and rear spooled

Locked Front and rear but with Center Diff ?


I am trying to create a Fast Fun Rally car with a Little Drift action
ANy tips
Thank you very much

Emaxx tranny locked in 2nd
Spooled front and rear
Driving is very fun with just a 3s lipo and cheapo 2183kv Feigao motor
22" wheel base

i like to drift with a locked spool in the front, and a rear diff. seems to help when transitioning from sliding to forwards.

WHat car, motor, weight, battery ?
There is a hundred different setups so I'd like to hear what works for what setup, other wise it's a shot in the dark

INteresting I was told by jabe
"If you want to drift, you will need locked rear diff and tight front diff or even locked.
For tyres, i wouldnt go for any pipe, as you have so much power, so try taping tyres for first run, as with pipe you wont have any traction.
I drive 1/10 drift car, and my setup is soft springs and absorders, and locked rear and tight front diffs.
But you cant race and drift with same setups, it makes other one much harder.
And solid center diff, if you have any. "


I wan to use LST Diffs but have not found Spool /locker, do they exist ?
I could just make them like I did for my Crawler, used same LST aftershock diffs
