RE: front one way
My lightning EPX pro has a full driftset up. I changed the Spur gear from 58t to 64t for more low end torque.The pinion changed from 26t to 16t.Both front and rear diffsare locked. The motor burned out so ichangedit to the 5.5t EZ run motor and ESC. I need a front one way diff so when i brake, the back end whips outand i can cut turnsfaster. With the front diff lockedits harder todrift tight turns.Can aTC3 front one way fit??? With a few modifications and all??? Thanks in advance.

You need to be a little more detailed than that. The EPX is direct drive from pinion to the drive shafts and then to the diffs. There's no place on it that has a one way. Unless you are talking about the front drive shaft.

RE: front one way
The Redcat Racing Lightning EPX pro has a rear diff and a front diff. Both regular diffs. What im looking for is a one way diff in replacement for the front diff so when i go foward and press the brake and turn the cars rear whips out and when i throttle it grabs. Tamiya, HPI, Team Associated, etc.....makes one. I was wondering if redcat has anything similar to it. If you google "TC4One way"you can see it.Thanks.

RE: front one way
If that's what your talking about then you mean the Diff gears in the diff housing. You want to know if they make a posi locked rear end or gear box? No they do not, but you can lock the diffs easy enough with clay, silly puddy, JB Weld (can not be removed) and etc... THat will lock your diff and give you posi traction for drifting if that's what you want to do. Also the HPI Posi diff should work.

losi won't fit. Losi dog bones are smaller. You need an HPI one. Alot of the parts like diff gears Drive cups, dog bones and so on are the same size in the HPI cars. I know the diffs and gears are the same size, I just sold some diff gears for an HPI RS4 to a guy as an upgrade to his redcat diff gears. The HPI ones are much much better quality, thus the high price.

It should, but I'm not going to promise that it will for sure. Never tried that only, used the diff cups and the diff gears and housing. If it works let us know. That would be a cool item to be able to use.
