jleibund,

Please take one of the tires off and take a picture of your arm mounts. If your shocks are fine, I think it maybe that you put the mounts on upside down.....btw...need more light for the pics....

jleibund,

I'd say your missing your arm mount spacers or your arm mounts are mounted wrong.

Default oneway with foam on carpet

Why doesn`t anyone use onway on carpet? Seems to me that I must use a oneway this weekend because I don`t get the diff in time

I normally use 4wd on carpet because our track is very tight, so find the extra grip when braking to turn helps alot. I like oneway on more smooth flowing track.
So far the pro4 has been better than any other car i have tried with oneway on our track. i will keep working on setup using oneway before switching to 4wd. I got a spare diff already to try out.

Sturla,

When running on foam tires the grip is simply too much to use a one-way. Running a standard diff makes the cars more forgiving and more predictable....
With rubber tires a one-way is usually faster....

Cheers,
Eirik

Agreed, On carpet with rubber tires, one way diffs are usually faster, even on tighter tracks - assuming the one-way works with the person's driving style. For some people it may take a while to get used to, but I love driving one-way cars.

jleibund - I knew Erik would come on here with a quick and easy solution.
