501X setup discussion

[jimmy]

I just took my durga one way out to compare against my spare 501X one way - nothing like it. you'd need a huge spacer to get the pulley in the correct position, about 8mm or more. Or am I missing something.

[B44&501xRacerEX]

I didnt even need a spacer since I'm using a TA-05 pulley.
Told ya id fit. You must have the original 501x then.

Here's a 2 pics to better explain it.

[jimmy]

Oh I didn't doubt it would fit, I think you mistook me - what I meant is that it wouldn't work.

[Northy]

BMag, I'd love you spannering on my cars.

Where is your mate that understands this glued diff thing, I'm racing tomorrow and think it would help

Hello Jimmy, Have you got time now to give me some advice on what items are the best to finish of my car?

Cheers

[Carl Hughes]

Oh.......I'm sorry I didnt get the joke.

B-Mag what I think they are trying to say is that the durga one way diff is in backwards when installed in the 501X. The wheels have to be able to roll forward freely like on a two wheel drive to get the correct one way action. You should be able to rotate the front wheels forward freely without any binding. Pickup the rear of the buggy and roll it forwards with the front wheels on the ground. The front wheels should rotate freely when rolling forward and lock or turn the rear wheels when rolled backwards. If you are getting the reverse action the diff is in backward.

Your right I was wrong.
I have put it in the rear end of the car instead, and it does work now.
So I'll put the tungsten diff balls in the front.

It's unknown how it's gonna drive though. But I have had more trouble out of the rear
than anything. Freekin stock diff balls.... :/

I'm so tired of wasting money...
This is the only front one-way my hobby shop could get in.
The 501x front one-way has been discontinued

You cannot use reverse when you race, so why does it matter?
It's worth a shot. If not I'll remove it later. The traction you get at
Albion is incredible, you can run slicks there, so I dont think it will
affect the handling of the car at all in those conditions.
We'll see.

[rcracer]

be sure to keep us informed

[Mike Hudson]

you should have taken it back and told them it doesnt fit your car, i can only imagine it will make the car worse to handle cornering put all your electrics backwards so then you can drive your car backwards maybe that will make things better

It'll be like a solid rear axl, you'll suffer from a lot over power on oversteer. Then when you brake only the front wheels will actually brake so it'll understeer under brakes.

At least thats how I assume it would handle I dont know of anybody who's actually ran a one way in the rear before.
