Just a FYI, Tamiya yellow 400 included in the kit is closer to 30wt.

I might do 40wt with 3 holes that way I will have a good comparison if I use the same oil but different piston. I might get a better feeling that way.

Well I think it is a great idea to try it. Its that or I just have a new set of tamiya shocks sitting around doing nothing.

Right now the car is dialed as hell.
Eirik, have you guys experimented with a center oneway and a front dif? I have been using this setup for a few weeks and the car is much more predictable.

I think a diff up front will be too slow in most situations, it will make the car super stable though! But it might be a good thing on some tracks I guess....

looks pretty crap to me, although i wonder if the fact that the bearings are around the place where the pins goes in the delrin outdrives may not solve the issue they had on the TiR spool

Diff
If you run a diff up front and leave the middle oneway the front wheels still free wheel, just not as long. The car has actually become faster do to the extra stabilty in and out of corners. I cant see how a spool would be any better. Are you guys running the spool with a locked center pully or the oneway center pully?

Ill - The Spool might not be better into or in the middle of the corner, but it should be far better on corner exit. The diff will allow one wheel to spin, not giving you as much traction. Spool acts like a one way on power.
If you have your diff tight enough, it won't allow the inside wheel to spin, but then it's acting more like a spool everywhere else.
On that Tamiya spool, I don't know why they used the Delrin outdrives. From what I've seen, they wear out in less than half the time of the black outdrives, and that's on a diff. I'm sure the spool will be much harder on the outdrives. Maybe they will be cheap, unlike the delrin diff outdrives, but I doubt it.

With a diff up front you will have problems with spinning of the inside front tire coming out of corners, atleast I had that problem last time I tried. The car was super easy to drive so if the track is tricky it will work good I guess....
With a spool you have maximum drive from both front wheels and I feel that I can accelerate much sooner with that setup. I can also let off the trotle a litle later going into the corners and even break hard if I have too!!
I always use the locked centerpuley when I use a spool...
