I know 4 or 5 in can make a big differance on an 80 or 90 in wheelbase rig but is it noticable on something that long?

oh sure it is. it would be wonderful to actually be able to turn maybe sorta kinda but not really, sharp....

[skipnrocks]

nope toy twin sticks allow for 2wd lo only in the rear. the toy twin sticks basically allow 2hi 2lo and 2wd and 4wd independent of each other

[skipnrocks]

Ahh I see!  Benificial but not what your lookin for?  My atlas does that too, I wonder if you get improved handling for city to put it in fwd?

no i want fwd option. the dana300 can be set up just like an atlas

[skipnrocks]

Kiy have you thought about using a d300 to help your turning woes?  Is it easy to adapt one to toys d-train?

[Hyena]

You can by an addapter to go behind the first toy t-case to a D-300.

[skipnrocks]

Cool!!  Do it, do it!!   

[kiyul4130]

the adapters like $550 or something. personally i think a D300 would be pretty cool to have but really i think you'd only need it if you were a comp guy where stuff like that becomes really important. theres not really a need to spend that much money just to be able to turn sharper. just back up real quick.

[skipnrocks]

Wow at 550 i think turning sharper would be over rated,  I wonder why its so much for an adapter?   Do you know if there is a calculator for turning radius?  one where you can adjust your wheel base and see how it affects your radius?

[Doof]

trial and error

[skipnrocks]

LOL the oldfashioned way, and still sometimes the only and best way!   But a calc would be cool!

[Doof]

it would make some choices easier for sure
