Diff Lock Not working

[Matt_D]

so you can use this on the strip to get better takeoff then also?

...and for drifting :mischeif:

Use the diff lock for launching hard, as it sends the drive to the rear wheels evenly. I think the driveshafts will break before the diff lock mechanism.

I would also think it will be better to launch with the diff locked, but meybe it puts MORE stress into the diff itself, i dont know

One trick is to drag the handbrake slightly on the way to the startline, to take up any slack in the drivetrain. That way everything gets less of a whack when you sidestep the clutch.

this is the ONLY way i do it.
Learned it from my cossy, as this is the only way i dont break the gearbox

Oh the drag strip secrets are slowing coming out - intersting one that...

Still dunno if I'll ever get brave / brutal enough to side step the clutch on my S2. It goes against the grain of my mechanical empathy mantra.

Also when you apply the handbrake on the startline dont apply the clutch TO much as you will heat it up to much and fry it or it will slip cause of the heat build up.
An S2 std trim like´s to start at arr 4500-5000rpm then it spins the front wheels hehe
