Well ran the BD today in Stock. Ended up goin back towards the "kit setup." Seemed to work best. But I did change the rear toe from 3deg to 2 deg rear block. I also ran the Yokomo Spool for like a lap or 2 before I sheared off the outdrives on the right side... 
Even split the aluminum drive cap!! Yeah, it was a new track layout. Goin down the back straight and a board/flapper was sticking out on the sweeper... Well I caught that and the rest was history. No more spool!! 
Oh well.. I'll be waiting for the SpeedtechRC spool. Til then I'll be running the spool.
I also ran the car with a 7single for a pack after the race. Car was smooooth. But had a bad off power push. I'll have to work on a setup for that if I am to use a oneway. If not... I'll be waiting for the direct pulley and Speedtech spool.
Anyways, I like the car alot. Can't wait to get it dialed for mod!!

I havent perfected a spool setup just yet, kinda waiting for the Reedy race where I can really get on a track that will work with a spool. However I ran a really tight front diff and it had a lot of steering, was able to run the same laptimes as the 1 way cars when I was testing with it. Unfortunately in the high-speed sweeper at SoCal it did "diff out" and lose a lot of cornerspeed if I wasnt careful.

Randy, have you already got spool and a fixed center pulley?
What would you expect from a car which has a front spool but a center one way?
and how would you perhaps alter a normal spool setup to compensate this?

Dialed, I need to get some carpet racing in soon, the SD was super dialed on the rug and I'm sure this car will just be better. One thing you might do is double up on the upper deck to keep the car stiffer.

I dont run spools unless I have to (Reedy Race) so I dont do much testing with them. I think 1 ways will have the advantage on any asphault track with the right setup.

Rob, you still running a center oneway? If so.. just wait for the direct pulley to come out. Should help the car some. Also, a stiffer chassis might help as well. The car was just too flexie up there and the center oneway didn't help either. Of course a good spot on the drivers stand helps alot. hehe.... I was only able to get a 9.6 lap up there when I could actually see the track.

... but right now i run a front 1way, with a locked center pulley, and i felt it added more off-power steering
