Has anyone had any problems with the center one-way?
Yesterday after running a couple of packs through the car, mine was slipping. I figured that maybe it just needed to be cleaned and re-lubed. I tried to clean it using some alcohol and found that the bearings were falling out and the caging around the bearings was falling apart.
I thought this was kind of odd for it really not being that old, maybe 30 packs run through the car.
This could get expensive at $34 a pop. Has anyone tried a solid center pulley, if so what parts did you use? Would you just use the same pulley that they use for the rear?

Isn't using a spool with a one-way center defeating the purpose of the spool? You still can't brake without spinning out most of the time

Dorick,
From what i've found, if running a front One-way and the car just needs that little bit extra grip in the rear end, using a spool in the front and a center-one way can help give a little more rear grip.
It settles the car down a little.
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Robbie

Hi all.. my version 1 dog bone gave way today.. one of them was slightly bent at the end of my run.. oddly enough there was no impact at all. Anyways i called my hobby shops and most of them seem to be out of stock on the dog bones.. most of them only stock tamiya parts, would a trf cvd work on the cyclone? if not how damaging is it to run a bent dog bone on my cyclone? i'm running it with a 5.5r novak. its only very slightly bent, would it hold up for a few more runs? thanks!

I am trying to debate which TC to get for the summer asphalt/rubber season. The Hara and Andy Moore versions both look nice but I am looking for a used version.
Do you need any other parts/tuning options besides maybe springs and suspension blocks for either of these cars.

Get a v3 spool for sure, and the v2 steel front shafts, that will save alot of heart ache. The stuff marcus mentioned is good to consider too. What I have broke most on my car was the servo saver, and the spindles. The spindles were due to being stupid and putting too long a screw in it.
