Some great information there but you don't need to take it apart that much. Done mine by just removing just 7 screws. Thanks for the info all the same. 👍
Thanks very much 👍
Always good if there's an easier way to do it. 👍
This video was useful to me but not for locking my diff, it's my first of this kind of RC and I bought it when it arrived the back diff was the wrong way round so my car just kind stayed in the one spot! Thank you for this vid
I'm glad it was useful and helped you get your RC working. 👍 Hope you can enjoy it now and thanks for the comment. 👍
good job mate😀👌👍👍😎
Thanks very much. Hopefully it's helpful to people wanting to lock their diffs. 👍
Is it worth the effort of doing and does it transition better from corner to corner ?
Yeah it's definitely worth doing. It's better all around with locked diffs! It's better all around with locked diffs. If you set it in crawler mode it's like having a mini handbrake too when you come off throttle. 👍
hey mate!! do you know how to increase the direction angle?
There are two holes on the carrier arms, if you move to the hole closer to the front of the car it will provide a little more angle.
One of my projects atm is seeing if I can fit MST hubs as they provide way more angle. The Banzai is limited by the lower arm and also front diff housing. Hope that helps. 👍
@@DoURC mate you are my god
@@calvasus 🤣 Thanks very much 👍😁☺️
Hey mate great video.
Did you lock the front diff as well? And if so is there a vid?
Thanks very much. 👍
Yeah I locked the front as well, it's the same process as the rear but just disconnect the steering as well. The front and rear diffs and housings are the same, just remember they face different ways. 👍
I didn't do a separate video no. 👍
Ok cool thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
Did you do many other mods to the banzai?any steering upgrades?
@@michaellobenstock5184 No worries. 👍
I've recently swapped in a 550 17t motor and also moved the mounting point for the steering arms where they attach to the hub. I'm looking into using mst hubs instead for better angle, I'll do a video if it works. 👍
@@DoURC awesome, would definitely be up for seeing that vid 👍🏻
what is the benefit?
Both wheels spin together, makes it much easier to drift. For a crawler like the Kanyon, it would stop individual wheels spinning when crawling, so all wheels would move together, helping you crawl. 👍 Just like real life basically, drift cars have lsd's or locked diffs and off roaders can lock the diffs for hard terrain. 😎
Do you have a link for the part for the diff at all?
Yeah there's a link in the description for it. 👍
The diffs are basically the same for quite a few of the ftx models. The FTX part no is FTX8467. 👍
@@DoURC nice one thanks 👍🏻
@@finleyhall4281 No worries 👍
No need to take the arms off as as soon as you undo the 6 screws..the dif will come off its just those 3 screws that hold it on need to come off 😁😁
Thanks very much. I just found it easier to get the dog bones out and it's only two screws, but thanks for the tip. 👍
@@DoURC your welcome dude and oh ok everyone does things a little different I guess lol 😆 but it's a good video too 😉
@Aaron's rc channel Thanks very much. Hopefully it's helpful either way. 😊
@@DoURC am very positive it is very helpful to people 😎
@@aaronsrcchannel8912 Thank you 👍
To much hassle for a cheapo ftx. My banzai can stay stock.
It's definitely worth it, makes it a much better drifter. I just wanted to share the how to so people know how to do it, if they want too. Enjoy your Banzai. 👍😎
