Gen X10- PAN CAR

Now you can back off the diff to lessen the wheel spin on the surface you're trying to run on.

I don't like using a diff as a slipper clutch -- it's not designed to take the heat.  That's the way to melt spur gears.

The idea is to use the throttle as though it is not an "on - off" switch.  Pull it slowly and this will prevent wheel spin.

Yes Tom, that is the best way if you've been driving a pancar for a while but for those that this is a new experience, a slipping diff may be the only way to put down the power. I highly doubt anyone will be putting down enough power to melt a diff until we get some real traction built into the track.

Shawn,

You need to break in your diff slowly. Have it set just tight enough to hold itself together, then while it's sitting on it's car stand, hold the left rear wheel with your hand and hit the gas slowly for about 30 seconds. Then stop and tighten it a little more, run it again while holding the left rear. Keep doing this procedure until you can just barely turn the spur while holding both wheels simultaneously. Thats how to get your diff broken in correctly. Now you can back off the diff to lessen the wheel spin on the surface you're trying to run on.

I hope that helps.

Yeah thanks Mick, I went onto the CRC site and read up on building a good diff. I think i just didnt let it work in long enough, its much better now.

What setup boards/equiptment is everyone using for there 1/10 pan? Been looking at Hudy, Integy and unity. Hudy seems very expensive. Any leads/tips on best equiptment would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Unity and it is the perfect match for 1/12 and 1/10 and even 1/8 pan cars. Has all you need, tweak, toe in, and camber. Very well built. Highly recommended.

To save alittle money for a setup board, I bought the Integy replacement decal for $7.00 online, and then applied it to a scrap piece of 3/4 MDF board. Used a nylon nut cover, and two screws (with nuts epoxied into it) so  it can be leveled.

Then for Pan, I bought a MIP tweek station for $20 (ebay).
