i have a front wheel drive!!!!!!!

[XRL15thplaceskyline]

:D i know DEAN i want to sell my custom front wheel drive system so if any one wants to buy one just write back!!!!!!!!!

[suprastar]

front wheel drive is dumb

[XRL15thplaceskyline]

it is way better for steering around sharp turns but you need to position the batt closer to the rear of the car for more down force!!!!!!!!! :o

[viperdout]

No, supra star is right. AWD is way better, because you get pushed AND pulled through a turn, not to mention the traction advantages of spreading out your power.

[suprastar]

and the handling isnt better cuz it is distributing the power up front too maybe if u make rear wheel sterring it'll work better but why?

[Sil80Drifter]

FWD sucks....
Da AWD kit from rs is not worth the $15..rip off

[m11px]

i am good with switching from rear wheel drive ans all wheel drive. front wheel drive would b cool though

[viperdout]

FWD sucks, but what's wrong with AWD? I can never get traction at home without it.

[XRL15thplaceskyline]

thanks m11px thats the only reason im selling it is for fun poroses!!!!! :P

[Nismo_34]

how much of is it
i have always tot it would be cool 2 see a civic take off front weel drive peelin out :headbang:

[XRL15thplaceskyline]

8 bucks shipped
:o

[m11px]

all i do for fwd.....


1-put hole 4 wheel drive in the front
2-take the white gear out of the back
3-assemblr it all and just the front wheels spin you did it right
:headbang:



sorry if i gave you scrkeet***? away

Ok, then how does the motor spin the driveshaft?

if u open the white gear and drill a perfect hole through the driveshaft hole so u dont have th odd shaped hole and ur tires wont move !!!

[m11px]

just take the white gear out out of the back............there are 2 gears if you are smart you will know whit one is the right one.the one closest to the back

[Dilbones]

I think that fwd is dumb. I have a nitro powered rc car, and it is all wheel drive. I took out one of the driveshafts out and made it rear wheel drive, the only 1:10 rc car with rear wheel drive. I also made a front wheel drive for my xmods and it sucks balls. All it does is understeer. And it cant drift. :x

[Maximillio145]

Guys, open up the white gear, then, take out the little blue gears inside,
assemble the front AWD part,and try it,only the front should spin!!!!!!!

[Maximillio145]

also, FWD only sucks *** in RC!!!!!!!!!!!!
In real life, an Acura RSX is FWD, and its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*****es

[SwedishRacer]

fwd should be better for drifting! you get grip in the front, leting you controolit better, and better steerung, suposibly. and its c=gurentied as long as your car works, you wont get stuck in snow.

dont be stupid and drive in snow!

[StiXxX]

front wheel drive is horrible you just spin ya wheelz

[FociFanatic]

Ok, in the RC world FF kinda does suck, because you can't use the same techniques as in a real car.
I have experimented with RWD and AWD with my xmod, and have found that even though RWD gives you better speed, but it requires delicate throttle control in the turns. If you're heavy on the "gas" you're better off not using it.
AWD gives you a traction advantage off the line, but tends to go under more. I find the car doesn't steer as quickly. It takes more of the servo's energy to turn.
It really comes down to preference, and a lot of what I'm saying is from my own personal experience.
Results may vary. I think technique is more important than drivetrain layout.

[Siks 6]

front weel drive is *** y would u install it in??? itll make u slower

[livestrong350z]

i think it would make the car slower because you would just spin you tires and you would get no traction.
but it would be a pretty cool idea if it worked as well as AWD
:blowup:

[ClintonP26]

FWD is *** and it is a rip just take of one of the gears in the back i could do it fo free!!!!!!!!!!!! email me at: [email protected]

[madxmodman]

lol, the power of the car is in the back :D thats y real RWD cars (i.e. corvette, camaro, SS impala, etc...) kick little tuners butts. no offence, but i was raised in a V8 and RWD family :P :D :D

Thx.

Put the 4wd kit in and take the (internal) gears out of the rear diff.
I am working on a new car and I am trying HARD to be patient...

[dodgeram6100h]

i put fwd in my xmod. i instaled 4wd and took the rear gear out it made my xmod go slower. if i where u i wouldnt put fwd in ur xmod
(but it did hove better handleing)

[jimmythekid1]

For RC awd is the best in real cars it is a toss up between RWD and AWD. AWD gives you tons of traction, but RWD can just be alot of plain old fashion fun. Try going sideways in FWD drive.

[superfastNSX]

[quote="XRL15thplaceskyline"]:D i know DEAN i want to sell my custom front wheel drive system so if any one wants to buy one just write back!
dose it make it faster?

[superfastNSX]

:lol:

[viperdout]

Actually, take the inner little gears out of the white diff in back and that'll do it better.

[HitMen]

for FWD just take the white gear that was in the rear of the car before you put the AWD in. take that gear out and cut all the splins off, so that the gear that drives the front wheel shaft has nothing to spin against. but keeps the proper spacing that you need. i have done this. it works allrite.but still has its problems. AWD is the best though.

Problem you missed is that the bevel gear will move around. Stripping out the inside is best, IMO, but FWD sucks on xmods.

[Forc3d2d0or]

front wheel drive sucks i would just get the all wheel drive.

[subarukid05]

i had set up the all wheel drive because my back didnt work.but the all wheel drive sucks it takes to long to get up to speed and it doesnt catch on till you give a little push on back.so dont get it.

[09A03]

Hey Sil80Drifter learn how to spell!!!!!!!!!! :redfin:

[StiXxX]

i know i havnt been in here for a very long time but i do remember an old post somewhere in this forum of ours
where everyone argued for about a week on how FWD has no place in the RC world and now u talk about it like its a new discovery
:lol: im not attacking u so dont get all uptight
this is just me and how i am remember that

bottom line
Stay Away form FWD in the RC world
REEE MEM Berr mem ber member....echo...echo...echo... :lol:
aaaahhh ive missed this place
ttyl

[supra86]

I put FWD on my civic, going for an acuracy thing, after i did though the stearing was jittery, most likely the batterys running dead though

[keggo]

I think if you have a civic, rsx, etc... you should have FWD to make it more like the real car.

[phoenixeclipse]

even if the motor is in the back :P

[supra86]

but by having frunt wheel drive on a the civic it handels more like the real car.

[phoenixeclipse]

dont mind me im just being a jerk :P

[blindDriver]

front wheel drive is wa to confusing to me

[WRX Ryder]

lol y do u need 4 weel drive anyway?u cant drift with it

dude waht he means is to take every thing out in the bacc of th mod that makes it go, well exept for that gear thats atatched to the drive shaft..

and when you install the all wheel youll end up with the two things that hold the wheel so you can put that in the bacc so yeh youll end up with front wheel drive...

[djskyline]

or you could just take the bake pices that connect to the wheels off your awd drive so only the frontg wheels would spin how hard is it for you guys to think of that ?????
it is so simple so then you can decided if you want awd or front wheel drive or rear wheel drive :dunce:

[djskyline]

just get awd and take out the things that connect to the wheels in the back

[Camro69]

-madx

dude, you are so right!! that is why i took off the all wheel drive that i had bought because now i have a greater top speed, and that is the only way my modded custom 1969 Yenko SC Camaro should be. by the way.. will have a picture of it soon in my profile pic. the pic i have now is a real camaro.. the new one will be my XMODS custom body kit!! hope you all check it out when i have it showing!

[RodsRUs]

ya you lose power and friends if you use FWD. lol

[crunk rida]

awd is the best. i have tried all of them

[boske]

bringing back the old again...

[homsangpradit]

Yeha i would have to agree with the people saying that it suck but hey.. it really does suck. ya just spin and it is worthless
the easiest way for you to accomplish this is by removing both rear axels from the diff to the knuck,... then only your front wheels spin and you can see what it is like and you wont like it and youll just change it back.. sorry to burst anyones bubble....

[oddryu]

yea its not hard to make fwd takes me like 5 minutes.

[pittbull988]

REAL CARS DONT DRIVE FRONT WHEELS THEY LIFT THEM.. yea this is old

[torredo]

lol y do u need 4 weel drive anyway?u cant drift with it


actually....Its easier to drift with AWD and control it in a drift.
Its you needs more power and a better motor....

[crunk rida]

FWD sucks ***, im locking this thread because its too old.
