Spools or diffs?
Hi guys,
As some of you know, I’m building a high speed on road Revo, I’m planning to keep the centre diff and putting spools instead of the other two, will that handle better on road?
Will my revo be capable of drifting after that change?
thanks for all the halp you can give me.

Im not sure about this but spools might locks the diffs making the revo turn like crap and increased traction. I would stick with the diffs, they will alow you to turn (spools dont)

RE: Spools or diffs?
spools give you more ability to slide, so yes it will drift very easly with a spool, but on road will make your truck handle like an elephant in an office building, and if you put a spool in the front as well you will hardly be able to turn at all, if you wanna drift and keep the ability to turn i'd just put 50-70 wt oil in your diffs, should be an alright compromise between turning and sliding.
spool in front is a bad idea no matter what your driving on.
