What You Can Expect Running a HPI
Micro RS4 with a One Way Diff
Well, a one way diff transfers full power to front wheels when you're racing forward. But it removes any power to them in reverse. Hence the name one way diff?
It should be obvious then that any transfer of power to the front wheels comes in handy when accelerating out of corners. As front wheel drive offers you more stability.
So with a one way diff you can count on faster corner acceleration plus very consistent steering. Making it the better choice for tracks with tight cornering.
Yet it’s good to remember when braking you’ve got rear wheel brakes ONLY. Yes, you give up four wheel braking with a one way diff.
To test this is simple. Hold any car armed with a one way front diff in the air. Go ahead gun it. Then hit the brakes.So deciding to go with a one way means you give up front braking. Which also means you are going to want to watch hard braking too. Since your micro rs4 will tend to be more skittish and more prone to spin outs.
You’ll notice that the rear wheels will stop when you hit the brakes. While the front wheels will just keep spinning.
Maybe that sounds good. But before you decide think you should read up on the ball diff?
But wait. Maybe you don’t have a HPI micro rs4 to hop up? In that case here’s a HPI micro RS4 review you might find helpful.
