See part 2 here: • Is The Hype Real?! Roc... In this video I check out the brand new Sparc Drive SA-10 Axles! These 1/10 crawler axles feature real time torque vectoring to give you the handling characteristics of an open differential but retain the functionality of a locked differential. Plus they enable zero degree turning radius with 360 tank turn! I sit down with Shaun Chu, founder of Sparc Drive to take a deep dive into these axles. I will also be giving away a set of SA-10 Ultimate axles!

@Bryzle1 22 күн бұрын

Planetary gears are used on all large heavy construction dirt moving equipment with axles. They are incredibly durable given the forces put on them because the force exerted on them is evenly distributed over 3x the gears. That’s why a fully loaded dump truck can go up/down 45 degree hills without breaking. That’s why a scraper can gouge the dirt and fill a pan with relative ease at 20 mph in seconds. The force multiplication in a planetary gear setup has such a massive advantage over regular wheel systems. I love the fact the tank turn is incorporated into this ‘new’ RC axle.

It will give you a reverse penalty if any tire goes backwards, rules don't need to change. Won't get outlawed, and probably won't get used much because the weight and size penalty. Most comp rigs have so much steering and overdrive ratio that turning radius is tiny. Blip it around

Kudos to Shaun Chu for bringing torque vectoring to the RC crawler world! Best of luck with your entrepreneurial venture. I am afraid that I will now have to buy an Axial SCX10 II or an Element Enduro to try this innovative tech out for myself. Decisions, decisions. I hope that these axles will eventually become available in aluminum or brass. I am fascinated by shiny objects. It would be amazing if this technology could be brought to the 1/18th and 1/24th scale crawlers. I would buy two Sparc Drive axle sets today if I could use them with my TRX-4Ms.

As a car enthusiast and an avid RC Off roader, In my opinion, this axle is well over-engineered, for lack of better terms. It is like having a computer that controlling the speed and separates the wheel turn. It is the best axle I have seen by far in the RC world. I like the fact that when turning at a higher speed, it calculates the angle of the wheels at full turn to avoid flipping. I think car manufacturers should adapt this technology to 1:1 models as nowadays, its all about technology in the car world.
