Yes I've searched and no my question has not been answered already and I'm not a newb.
The stock diffs sucked from the start so I purchased a 3racing center diff and ST front and rears. great except the 3racing ball diff lasted only 2 minutes. removed it went to tighten it a bit and snapped the screw in half which sent all the little diff balls all over the place. lovely! so i went another route and JB welded the stock (stripped) center diff together.
now I was running a mamba 8K w/ 14t pinion and 8 cells, using a rubber washer as a slipper pad, front cvd's and one rear cvd (don't ask) alumn drive cups in the rear. that set-up was a slipper gear eater - went thru quite a few even the delrin gears. ran that set-up at the ECC and put the mamba25 into thermal shutdown during the A-main.
have since changed to a AON w/ 12t pinion and 8 cells. much better but was getting a clicking sound from the rear. fixed it by shimming. but the last test run i lost all power to the rear wheels. turns out the rear drive cup on the JB welded center diff was rounded off and spinning (from the 8k ECC A-main run) too messed up to fix so i replaced it with a stock center diff.
now for my question. the stock center diff unloads all the power to the front wheels. it did this before i even started modding this damn car and now that I'm back to using it its doing it again. A front 2wd car is what i drive to the track not what i drive at the track. how in gods name do i fix this? there is no binding every things smooth (upgraded the bearings) I'm out of ideas and getting pissed off.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
