Kraton Just an experiment

Putting a typoon 6s diff in my KRATON 6s in the front of my k6s trying to get more torque in the front to tackle better obstacles

Straight cut main/ input gears in the Front diff of a Kraton 6s???
Have you tried 60kf/500k/30kr in all your open diffs first?

Yes and I’m running the 30k in the front typhoon diff will update my experience when my M2c chassis comes in

Are you talking about overdriving the front wheels?

Aside from the straight cut that @SrC mentioned, which aren't ideally suited for big tires. I'm not sure you're going to get the effect you are looking for with a center diff.

Go for it that’s what this hobby is all about.

It won't make much difference at slow speed as your center diff will still divide the power equally between the front and rear. Going with a heavier center diff fluid ( 1 M) will make more of a difference. Also increase your front diff fluid to 100 or greater for better front traction.

I have put heaver diff fluids in the front and I might lock my center diff because It blew lol

Well, better buy 2, because your experiment with the Typhon diff up front will probably blow the next one too.

What power system are you running?

Max 6 4065

Yeah go for it.
Just that when you find that a square won't fit into a circle.... well, it was all a waste of time. Just not the correct thing to do as many pointed out well ahead of time.
It's your hobby, your wallet. Govern yourself accordingly
Over/under driving is not correct for these fast bashers.
Crawlers do this with some driving advantages and disadvantages. With that comes a drivetrain wear issue. Albeit at 2 mph, Crawling. The tradeoff is less significant than the gain.

Geez…

Go for it and learn your own way.

Not trying to add to the buzz kill, but thought I would educate where I can.

The gears multiply the torque from the motor.

Lets say the motor outputs 4 lb/ft of torque (complete imaginary number).
We are going to ignore the pinon and spur for this simple analysis to compare only the diffs.

Typhon/Limitless diffs are 3.3 ratio (13/43 = 3.30769....)
Kraton/Outcast/Noto diffs are 4.3 ratio (10/43 = 4.3)

Multiply the 4 lb/ft torque by the differential ratio:

4 lb/ft * 3.3 = 13.2 (Typhon / Limitless / v1 infraction)
4 lb/ft * 4.3 = 17.2 (Kraton/Outcast/Noto)

The Typhon's lower diff ratio would reduce the torque by 30%

Let us know how it worked for you.
Maybe it did? IDK.

He said he blew up his center diff in an earlier post (#7)

That was before I installed the typhoon diff but I’m still waiting to try it need a few parts to show up

 

[BashTillBroken]

ran it today can't say yet but its less torque but it helps with the steering circle lowers top speed a bit will update when I drive it offroad and hard bashing
