    Hey Adam, have you ever used pistons with angled holes? If so in what conditions would you use them?

    • @AdamDrake
      @AdamDrake  3 роки тому +3

      I’ve tried them, but prefer the MIP Bypass 1 pistons.

    How does the number of holes in the piston affect the car? Would it be the same as changing the size ie: bigger = more holes or no?

    • @AdamDrake
      @AdamDrake  5 років тому +2

      Typically when you add holes, you also reduce the size of the holes. I'll try to do a video on this as well.

    Question: I have finished to assamble a mbx8. It goes too much from the back. It almost make a spin. Which would be the first steps to do with the set up? Camber? TOE? Please help

    • @robertshaver4432
      @robertshaver4432 5 років тому +2

      I'm not a pro but I'd go to a thinner center differential oil in that case, that's where the front/rear Horse Power dispersion gets determined. I might also thicken the rear diff oil and or thin out the front diff oil. The center diff change will have a higher effect though. I'm pretty sure that I learned that from Adam lol

      @robertshaver4432 5 років тому +1

      @@maximilianochelala9880 lower numbers are thinner: I've a differing buggy so can't help with my set-up but I run 3000 in the rear 7000 in the center and 5000 in the front. So... if I needed to do what you need to do on your buggy... I'd take the center diff down to 5000 which is thinner than the 7000 that's in it. Be careful changing the front diff oils where thicker softens entry steering by "resisting" when one wheel wants to spin faster than the other is primarily what your "adjusting " via oil thicknesses there. Typically for the center diff though is that, the more powerful your motor is, the thinner that you want your center diff oils to be or you'll spin your back tires too much: The front tires are always going to spin under acceleration, how much "carry along effect" is provided "to" the rear tires is determined in the center diff. Hope this helped!

      @@maximilianochelala9880 Your very welcome, the easiest explanation is that a super thick oil would act more like a straight axle that would allow "no slippage" and all tires would have to roll at the exact same speeds. Thin oils allow slippage and tire speed differences but how much slippage or tire speed differences is allowed is dependent on the oils thickness. The center diff is confusing there because the front tires will (almost) always be spinning faster than the rear tires (for lack of traction) so the rear tires only get what the front tires allow via the "speed difference" within the center differential. The simplest explanation? lol I was wrong!
