This video shows a Tamiya Blazing Star with the rear diff unit locked. A diff unit allows a RC car’s drive wheels to deliver power simultaneously even as the wheels are traveling at different speeds while cornering. A locked diff unit is not supposed to hurt anything as it simply changes the geometry of handling. […]
