front tire ballooning

[simplechamp]

From what I've read the E-revo center diff only has 2 spider gears so you need SUPER thick diff lock grease or else the power will unload to the front too much. Belting the tires with tape will cut down on the ballooning, but it will only mask the problem of excess power unloading to the front.

I still use the stock center locked spool. I don't see the point of buying the center diff, then doing everything possible to lock it back up again. Maybe someone will start making those 1/8th hybrid center diffs again, but until then the locked spool is your best bet for consistent power transmission
