Not sure if there is even the option to unlock them. The standard one is plastic. The “upgrade” is metal and heavier. Thats the only “diff”erence 😂 Supposedly it’s better?? (As detailed above in the sales guff). It was only a tenner and I thought wtf, might as well get one. Carisma Scale Adventure Complete centre differential set (SCA-1E) CA15830 (modelsport.co.uk) This is what I've seen. Is it a locked assembly or a centre differential? I've only ever seen "Centre Differentials" on bashers, hence my confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a locked assembly or a centre differential? I've only ever seen "Centre Differentials" on bashers, hence my confusion. I suffered from the same confusion. It’s the use of the word differential, which to me brings to mind a diff box full of gears. These have a diff box, but it just contains a solid block of alloy rather than gears. Misleading calling it a differential really. I’ve put it into the new metal version now, but that empty space in the pic is filled with a block of alloy. Not that you need to worry, as you’ll have it all in your kit. It’s standard fittings, not an extra. BTW, which version IS your kit? If it’s the 2.1, you already have the ATT. Even if it’s the original kit, You have a cracking little scale crawler. I’ve had mine nearly 2 years now and this is the first major strip down I’ve had to do. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks for clearing up that confusion! I've got the gen 1 kit but I'll be adding the ATT to it when building. It's still in the box atm, got other projects to sort first. There's a long deadline on this build lol, want it ready for SST 2022. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Fitted the ATT but didn’t get chance to test it out til recently. In my humble opinion it works. Not sure it’s worth the cost of retro fitting but I’d say the 2.1 probably does actually handle better than the original. It certainly eliminates that body roll when pulling away. Hard to say exactly how much it affected handling as while I had the thing apart, I replaced all the bearings, swapped the plastic centre diff for a heavier metal one, gave the shocks a clean and new oil, played about with the ESC settings, flipped the motor/gearbox, and tidied up the wiring a bit. It was definitely handling better, but with so many changes, who knows how much difference each change made? Most of the bearings weren’t too bad, but I changed them anyway. Worst was one of the front axles which had gathered a few souvenirs along the way. All running smoothly now Edited February 2, 2023 by Fat Freddy Pics removed to make space 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windscreen wipers gone too now. It’d probably help if I learned to drive it properly and stopped toppling over at the top of things. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Instagram they even went to the effort of pixelated “teaser” pics in the days prior. Weird. Quite like it but have put WAY too many hours into the current shell to even consider a replacement…yet. Hmm? Unless I had another Sca-1e? Maybe next year, I have a couple of other projects in mind first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exe_RC28 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hi all. I got my Coyote 2.1 today and love it. The only thing I have noticed is the drag brake is not holding too well. I have checked the ESC mode and all.is correct but has anyone else experienced this? The only way it will hold is by trimming the throttle but but this is using the motor incorrectly. Thanks Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Karl Karl something is not quite right, the drag brake should be pretty much full on, has your one got the ARC-1 esc, there are 2 drag brake modes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exe_RC28 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hi Jack. Yes it's the Arc1. Mode 1 is forward/reverse with smart brake and mode 4 is crawler mode. I have it in crawler mode at the moment and that I believe is suppose to have the drag brake. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exe_RC28 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 On a 30 degree incline or steeper it very slowly rolls backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I would do a full ESC set up, take your time, put throttle trim to neutral then calibrate throttle-ESC and make sure its in right drag brake mode, i did mine last week as i had it in smartbrake and found it rolled to much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exe_RC28 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Hi, Did a full calibration and still no joy. I have contacted Modelsport for advice to see what they think. Something not quite right and reluctant to take it out until sorted. Any other things I should look at, Motor related maybe? Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Karl i still say its ESC, not likely to be motor, i did find the ARC-1 a bit of a pain to set up and get right also in the manual the text is bloomin small hence i got brake wrong at first go, you should find crawler drag brake pretty strong once set, i keep saying i am gonna get a Hobbywing 1080 for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exe_RC28 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Hi, Definitely setup correctly according to the manual but still no joy. Will read up how the drag brake works and what else could be a factor. I put in a 3000mah battery but can't imagine the slight extra weight would cause the issue.
