Well, I have a welded diff - it requires some input to work - does that mean I drive like a madman? Interesting, your results are the opposite of what I would have expected. I assumed the welded diff is more of an inhibitor in tight turns where it wants the car to understeer, and on sweepers the wheel speed differential would have less of an effect.<div class="">Guess I’ll just have to try and find out. Don’t like the idea of any wheel spin though.<br class=""><div><br class=""><div class="">On Jul 20, 2023, at 12:54 PM, David Gott <<a href="mailto:triumphsix@yahoo.com" class="">triumphsix@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings><o:AllowPNG/><o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><div class="">
Hi Scott,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ve run both a welded diff in the #114 (Dads car) and a Quaiffe in the #80. On the same track, I find high speed sweeper corner speed is much better with the Quaiffe as the welded diff requires modulating the throttle to control the forced oversteer, where the quaife car is flat out. Last turn at Thompson, the #80 was 11mph faster exiting the corner with the same driver. However, on the hairpin, the welded diff was a much better performer where the quaife required a VERY smooth line and was modulating wheel spin where the welded diff just rotated the car and shot out of a turn. I’ve developed a simple questionnaire to help. Lap times were the same on both cars.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1. Do you drive like a madman?
