Homemade Buggy - Electric Crosskart: Limited Slip Differential Kit
25,824
Publicado 2022-04-05
Day 1 of reassembly after painting. The first thing I needed to do before the wheels could go back on the electric buggy was to install the differential. But I needed to make a modification to it that I didn't have the chance to do in the previous drivetrain video. In this video I show how I installed a poor man's limited slip differential kit in the Honda CR-V open differential that I'm using for the electric buggy. If you don't know what a limited slip differential is or how it works, check out the video below from Lesics:
• Understanding Limited Slip Differential
This modification works like a clutch pack to cause both rear wheels to lock up like a solid rear axle and dig in for more traction if one tire starts to spin too much or I want to fool around and do some donuts, but it'll also allow the differential to function like an open diff so that each wheel can turn at different speeds when cornering normally to prevent understeering. I had to do some light grinding and sanding on the gear faces to make things work, but only needed to remove ~0.2-0.3mm so there's no risk of weakening them, but if you do this then keep in mind that the device works by gripping against the bearing faces, so the flatter they are, the better.

Please could you explain how this device works, I could see its spring loaded when you popped those retainers off, but that couldn't possibly be enough presure to prevent the wheel with least traction from spinning, does the spider gear shaft cause it to wedge open and apply more pressure in any way? Very interested to see how this device works. Thanks

This precision and this way of being meticulous in your work are the reasons why I follow all your videos. Yes!
-
What a beautiful piece of machinery. Good video, thanks.
-
Thank you so much for all your videos . Loved them all . So nice to learn some new stuff while being thoroughly entertained. Really looking forward to seeing you take the buggy out on its first test 👍
-
Wow man this whole build has been amazing! Thanks so much for sharing it! About to watch the next part now lol

Enteresan. Usta ellerine sağlık.

Differentials, amazing things
-
Waiting for the final piece of art ....
-
Great 👍

How much hp you running on your buggy? Wondering how much hp this lsd holds up yo
-
Sorry, I'm not an expert on differential mechanics, I understand the principle... but what is this modification you did for?
-
Won't grinding down the gears a guesstimate amount make the LSD mod less effective?
-
Do they make these for Yamaha golf carts? I NEEEEEED one for my G9!

That looks like a very simple install, I have put some lunchbox lockers into Suzuki vitara axles with great success. I hope that this type of friction plate works for you. I didn't see if you used threadlock on the crownwheel bolts , if not then I'd check them after some use and re-torque them . If you have any problems with this diff then you can use a diff from a JDM MK1 Eunos, Mazda MX5 which has an ATB type diff and works extremely well in lightweight vehicles. This buggy uses the Mazda diff https://youtu.be/jh_bY_yzREU
