| Post subject: | Running the spool |
I have found for me the diff is more consistent and just plain faster for me. A couple of my friends run the spool and say it should be a good bit faster at our track. What kind of setup characteristics do I look for on my car to get the spool to be as smooth and have great turn-in the way my diff does? Would droop be the major factor or roll center give me as many knowledgeable ideas as you can. Rod |

droop will help, softer front spring, lengthen the wheelbase, add rake ( have the back end higher than the front end ) all of these things will help the car turn in. I use a spool, but most of the guys at my local track prefer the diff for the same reasons you stated. A spool has a more direct feel to it than a dif does. A diff to me feels lazy. This is of course, my personal opinion. I have found, wheelbase, droop and front spring have helped my spool turn in the most. |

Thanks for your response yeah I have a couple setup variations online. I am looking for thoughts from others to bounce off of my own theories on how to get the spool to be better for me. I primarily race on asphalt medium traction, on rubber. I am not really looking for setups but for ideas on what changes are likely to give the results I want. Cory is always a great help just looking for the most input I can get. Rod |

thansk for the probs rodney. A little mroe info, to help answer your question. A spool will never " feel " as smooth as a diff, because of its nature and the way it works. The diff tends to subdue vibrations, and any directness that a spool will give you. This doesnt mean that a spool is really causing the car to act one way or the other ( other than what it helps the car do ) its just transfering the cars natural tendancies to the wheel. The diff is kind of a drivetrain shock obsorber in a way . |
