Diff setups
 
I imagine a front one way and a rear spool the way to go for drifting.

Is this true?

a front locked diff will give more steering which will make it easier for drifting

A couple of friends of mine are running one-ways in the front...what they've noticed is that they get tighter drifts...

I have found the HPI drift tires give normal driving ability with drifting. You can either keep 4 wheels planted or accelerate fast to kick the rear out and do a controlled drift.

I imagine the ABS tires would give too little traction and many people lock 4 diffs and just gun it the whole time by sliding around.

I used a rear locked diff on my TL-01 and it handles like a scale RWD car with the HPI drift tires. I imagine with the front diff locked it will be too forgiving, but right now it's fun to drive and taked some skill to get a 20 foot drift going.

ABS is the standard for drift tires. And I prefer a tight rear ball diff with a loose to medium tense front diff or a one way.

I simply remove the grub screw holding the front drive shaft in place and only have a RWD car with a big ***** motor to kill it all day

Right........ Although the point here is drifting not senseless donuts.
