FF03 DIY locked front diff

Locking the differential ensures that both wheels on the same axle rotate at the same speed. This can be advantageous when driving on loose or slippery surfaces like mud, sand, or gravel, as it helps to distribute power equally to both wheels, providing better traction.

It’s important to note that while locking the differential offers advantages in specific situations, it may compromise the car’s handling on smooth or high-traction surfaces, leading to increased tire wear and reduced maneuverability during turns. Therefore, many RC cars come equipped with adjustable differentials that allow the user to choose between an open, limited-slip, or fully locked configuration based on the driving conditions.
