Thanks for the video!

Ok, I see how that can be used. I guess it is just a different way of using/thinking about a disconnect. My experience with ARBs and full size crawlers was clouding my vision of RC applications.

Cheers

No problem. I imagine that disconnecting it like and ARB and then locking up some kind of break on the inside wheel would work even better, but it would be pretty hard to design something like that for an RC.

You'll notice that shaft driven trucks like the Axial have a freewheel setting on their dig as well as a locked setting, but that used more for steep climbs than turning.

Fullsize (1:1) Rock crawlers use dig set ups also. They work the same way just like a cutting brake.

this is my new dig set up, I kept burning the radioshack switches so with the help of this forum I replaced them with some 25 amp switches.
set up is a little over 1 1/2" wide and about that tall.

without this forum I wouldnt have been able, thank you.

Since rear DIG is not widely used.

Where is the wiring schematic for DIG that is Lock and Free for the rear ?


Trying to search but you know how that goes, spend half the day reading through builds only to find the mention of DIG or the wrong kind

THAT is NOT a pic of a dig . It's a pic of a crawler


Other than the First wire diagram this thread lacks the full details.

Half a pic of a dig unit does not explain what is at the other ends of the wires !! and what it does people

That's just the way it is. The front axle is backwards from the rear axle so the motors have to spin in opposite directions. One of them has to go backwards
