Default In depth Question. (diff)

Hey,

I am wondering if there are people with a hole lot more knowledge about diff settings. I Know about stiffer back makes more stering softer front more stering ect. My question is in reguard to small tight tracks. This would be a road corse track. They will be starting some time next month and I might try to find one in a week or two.

Well I just wanted to give you insite and explain why I wanted to know but to be honest I know more than I make it seem. I have tested several settings but since I can not test these on the course I am hopeing someone could shed some light. A pperson that races alot and how they do their settings and all. First off I have a Nitro tc3 fully aluminum drive train and arms. Titanium chasy and turn buckles. I have or use foam tires when I will be raceing. I have the car set up to what I feel is the best settings for toe and camber front and back. I am just hopeing someone will know this answer.

Question.

Ok if I want to have the car turn tighter but not have to slow down should I make the front as loose as possible and tighten the back up. lets say we devide them up in 1/8th turns or steps. This will allow 6 steps. 1/8(Tighter) to 6/8(Looser).

Front 2/8 back 4/8

is it better (for small tight tracks) to have say
Front 1/8 back 3/8
or
Front 3/8 back 5/8
or as low as
Front 4/8 back 6/8

I did not know if it was the differance between the two that made the car turn tighter or if it was just the setting of one was like 2/3rds and the other was 3/4ths of the whole picture.

And most importaintly which ones is the most importaint to have correct.
