WRC High Traction System

Following the release of their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car chassis, the STX8 back in October, Italian company WRC Racing has present its new High Traction System (HTS).  This 10 satellite gears diff configuration is designed and developed by WRC for the 1/10 scale touring cars and come as standard in the STX8 Kit.  The strength of this differential is the high friction gears even with low viscosity oils, thanks to the 10 small satellite gears.  The low oil viscosity lets the car have high rotation in the entry/central phase of the corner, then having high traction on exit as the high friction of the gears act as a higher viscosity oil.
