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

[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.

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

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]

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...

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)

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
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...
aaaahhh ive missed this place

[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
