The FFG at the Halloween Classic allowed my car to be under better control at the 2nd corner (first left). It was more stable in the tight fast left. I wish I had this part outdoors running mod on asphalt.
At the end of the day -- you need to tune your car. There are still so many settings we havent tried.

I just noticed the center brace that is attached to the new carbon tube. Wondering if not using this would make the car flex to much for indoor carpet? I ask because in both USGT and USVTA indoors is what I run the most and I need to add a lot of weight to the car. I am currently running carbon shafts that allow me to take out that 2 bearing brace for the shaft in the current version, so I can easily add all the weight I need right down the middle. I like the idea of the floating front, but just wondering if the people using it now have tried running the car without that center brace.
The drive shaft bearing holder extends down from the FFG shaft.
look at the facebook page to see more pics..

Instead of FFG i wonder how an elastic joint on center shaft woul have performed !?

But any elastic joint doesn't remove the transfer of the torque from transmission to the chassis.
It only dampens the torque oscillations but doesn't affect on the average torque transfer.
FFG removes the transfer of the torque to the chassis completely (actually zero transfer).

We have an analog of such elastic joint already - SD1 spur damper.

I guess the tube rotates at the center brace and at the rear connection point, or it can just spin at the front connection....

Yea its a tricky one to think about, I dunno, maybe because the gearboxes are rigidly connected to each other via carbon tube allows torque cancellation via the tube rather than using the chassis? Its pretty clever!

It is an evolution of the top deck design for sure... Does it come as an upgrade kit ??? If so, how much will it cost ???
