For better audio (less echo) consider a mic closer to you or some pillows qults, rugs, or sound absorbing pannels.

Unfortunately, the wrong track was used for the final cut of the last 2 videos.

Great video! Can we get a before and after of the vehicle handling?

I will do one in a shorts video.

I use 500000CS differential fluid in my 22x-4. My tires don't balloon.

I use 20 mill silicone diff fluid/grease

Earplug center, silicone breast implant front and rear

Do they make spools to replace the complex difs? Why wouldn't you want the front and back locked for 100% traction and power to the ground? If one tire is slipping and the other is doing nothing; how's that useful or helpful in a stock setup?

On high grip surface fully locked diffs will make it very hard for your car to turn.

Fully locked diffs is more for going straight. Like speed runs or drag runs.

@@TheBod76 I was just thinking about speed runs.

I was amused by the secrecy and burying the lead on the secret object. But Kev Talbot has been making videos about this for a long time, not sure it's unknown. I'd be interested to hear more about how the stiffer center diff directs power more to the rear of the vehicle. And when folks might want to lock other diffs. My understanding is that the stiffer the center is, the more evenly distributed the front and rear power is. But what I don't understand is why you might want lighter center diff fluid. Wouldn't that cause the car to "diff out" more easily in all cases? When is a locked center diff a disadvantage?

If you car is oversteering (powersteering by having the back wheels slip) a lighter center diff can work against that.

This video doesn't suggest it's unknown. The title is you should try this if you want locked diffs. Quite transparent about that in the title and description. There's a video coming out that will compliment this one answering some of your questions.

I use 500k center, 50k front , 45k rear.

Much better off installing a spool last much longer and no slip at all good for speed runs

If you want to lock it hows that gonna work? You need 10- 20mio at least

That’s to much for a 1/8 scale I do that to my 1/5 kraton 8s on center diff only

It's a preference. I'm going for a locked diff on the 1/8th scale.

Hot glue works better honestly...completely reversible..all you need is a pick to remove...and it locks it up real well and doesn't brake down.

Use gloves next time.

Who didnt know of this? 😂
