I think he wants to know the benefits to running a center one-way...

Center one-ways are used for off-power situations only...allows the car to break without breaking the front wheels loose. Used as a tuning option, but not many people run them.

Actually most servos just come with an X-arm, not an arm with specific length, thickness, etc. The kit one should be fine though.

Center one ways tend to give a little bit more steering for the most part, but it is a different kind of steering. I think they actually make the steering feel less "direct" because it actually prevents the drag of the drivetrain, and the natural dragbrake of the motor to transfer weight to the front when letting off the thottle. Instead, It tends to just make the back end float around a bit.

It can be good on really wide open tracks that have a lot of grip. I usually only ran them with a front one way as well. Otherwise it just kills the nice crisp feel entering the corner.

Actually pretty easy! Put some weight on the top (towards the outside) and some on the out side of the pack and you should be all set. How much will depend on your electronics and where you put the weight.

Are the ones your using from HB? The short ones from Top are what i have and they don't fit right. Ended up using the ones from previous TA05MS. They fit fine its just that they only use 2 screws to mount the servo and that they're blue.

That blue slows your car down two tenths on a lap.

Does anybody know which lipos will fit the TC without modifying the chassis.
