babyface Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi, Got a ballraced ta01 Ford Escort Cossy and all runs well with it after getting it sorted but I have noticed on tarmac today it seem to suffer from alot of front wheel spin with none at the back as if more power is going to the front. Is that just a habit of this chassis or can the rear diff etc.. be tweaked to help out? I ask as when compared to a TL01 chassis, the TL01 does not wheel spin at all. Both are on silver can motors. Thanks Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 sounds like the rear diffs got a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyface Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Rear diff was refurbed a few days ago. But would it make a difference how tight the diff nut is as i left it pretty loose. The 4 wheels do spin when not on ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysmini Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 sounds like it isn't tight enough, or that it may be worn which may account for why it had the rock hard grease in it last time. I'll have a look and see if I have a spare one in my spares bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did swap the plastic parts of the rear diff when overhauling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyface Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Tightened the nut up and all is well. Seems you can alter the power split between front and rear axles depending on how much you tighten the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
