yakuza, no problem with the help even though i may not always be right. 
on droop my understanding is that lower number makes the car react faster which would be more useful for quick direction changes. on high speed track i'd try less droop up front like 6 - 7 and in the rear about 4.5 - 5.5, higher if theres good traction. its worth a try at least.
peace out

Front one-way outdrives
I drove the car today and all I gotta say is " WOW " !!!! Very nice car and very easy to drive. I noticed something about the one-way differential outdrives. They look like they are almost coming out of the front one-way unit on both sides ??? Anybody know whats going on with this ? Thanks.

Yeah, im using the stock CVD I believe. Thats the one that came with the car. The front CVD's are fairly smooth when im on throttle while turning the front wheels. No clicking noises of binding whats so ever. Where do you guys get your cyclone parts ? Thanks again.

Has anyone bought the diff set from Stormer Hobbies? I can't find anything from HB to say they actually do a complete diff set and find it hard to believe that they can sell a full diff set for just $5 more than the price of the delrin outdrives. Is it exactly the same as a standard Cyclone's diff?
