Welcome! Your fireteam looks badass, but it’s slow
Welcome!
Nice job on the wheels
I am curious why you went for a spool in the center?

Sounds good I’ll take a picture of my Fireteam without a body on.
Oh yeah I airbrushed it. I have another set of wheels with chameleon colors in it.
I’ve notice that it doesn’t run on awd mode. So I chose spool to keep it awd so I can crawler uphill. Anybody doing spools in front/rear diff?
Here pictures without a body on…. Chassis getting this oxide from Seaside Oregon. Everything steel parts getting rust from that beach so I had to clean up all rust parts with a white vinegar.

At Oregon, I’ve played with my Fireteam with a different body on.
Enjoy to watching it!

A different body on it. Yes I painted it as well!
Yes it is my YouTube channel and yes I own my beauty 1991 GMC Syclone!

That's where heavy diff oil comes in.
AWD means power goes to the wheels with the least friction.
4WD means power goes to all wheels.
Locking all diffs can have it's advantages (crawling and speedrunning) but in general purpose AWD gives better driving characteristics, especially in cornering.
Easiest way to lock the diffs is to replace the oil by silicon earplugs. But i would suggest to try heavier oil first (>100 000 WT) It will be nearly locked but still allow decent cornering.

I’ve put 10,000wt in f/r diff and it seem improve a lot. I didn’t like how center diff work, look like 60% to front and 40% to rear. With spool, 50% & 50% that’s what I liked. I know if I install spool in f/r and it would be hard to control at curves and spinning for sure.
