Dccd Question

[Joe G]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what all the settings on the dccd are for? And when they should be used? Cheers Joe

Best way to experimant is to take it onto a track and play...........

I like the fully open part

Be very craeful with Dccd, it can be an awesome driver aid but it also has the ability to bite you on the bum

Too true, take it easy till you get used to the diffs,

ask playsatan how it can bite even in a straight line, he's still got the teethmarks on his erse..

Fully forward? So you're meant to lock it when launching hard, say, on a 1/4 mile drag.. I've always had mine fully backward and 'open' when I've done 1/4 mile.

yeah, it's very difficult to do but iirc, fully locked till off the line then fully opened as once your moving. there are devices to do this for you but i s'pose you'd need to be pretty serious to go down that route.

Grant, colin launches the same way as you, fully open.

Ehh, no I don't

I did it once and only once. It was my first time on the strip and gave it a kind of half harted/hope I don't break anything kind of launch. I wheelspan like a mofo and bounce off the limiter, 2nd was no better.

From that run on I've always launced anywhere from 3/4's to full lock to try and tame the wheelspin. The harder you launch the more lock you'll need. Wind it off as soon as you think the car will not spin it wheels (2nd or third depending on your power/torque) as it does increase the rolling resistance IMHO.

As for wide open biting you in a straight line...... add in a bump or two and you'll need your wits about you.

That sounds really familiar... hmmm, will give it some Full Lock love if I get it back on the strip, might make a bit of a difference.

personally on the road i just keep it fully open,close my eyes and hope for the best

Cheers guys, just a case of experimenting then i suppose!! Noticed they can bite you in the ass even in a straight line. Came off a roundabout, straightened up, put the foot to the floor in third and the back end was all over the place. Was good fun all the same!! Cant wait till i get used to it properly and have some proper fun!!!!
