If it will last on foams with a oneway, then it won't have any problems with mod and a front diff!!

Glad you figured it out. You shouldn't have to do Tamiya's work for them.

i raced mod on carpet with no tansmission mods and havent had any trouble with the one way gear.
i also dont use any of the chassis braces as it is better without them

Some of options used to enhance the cars,
Tech Racing: Turnbuckles, Bodyposts(YTBF)
Square: Heatsinks and Motor mounts
Team Bomber: Carbon center shaft
Tamiya TRF: Blue option parts
Both cars have been shimmed to perfection by Atomix, super smooth and reliable transmissions have been produced.

That's just great. The front oneway gears will last about 5 minutes off road. just enough for the main I guess.

My car has now been shimmed, just like all shaft cars require...even the new HPI Pro4 requires shims to obtain the optimin mesh, not just to prevent damage, but the correct meshing of gears improves the efficiency. The above mention "FIX" is not needed in my opinion, shimming does the same thing and is simpler.
What does Surikarn do??? Shims and replaces damages gears as needed (and does not crash lol) ohhh and drives a belt car!

Tech Fanatic
Back in june i think it was the Tamiya Japan team had red bevel gears for in the gearbox, they claimed they were the same as the other gears but they gave my mate one and he swore it was different, it slid onto the bearing instead of having to be pushed on. Rick

I talked to Surikarn in Noveber at the TCS worlds he said the only thing that he does is to do what you have been saying shim the bevel gears and stop the drive shaft moving forward.
Has any body been running the tech three piece shaft in there evos and does it fix the poblem? i tried to shim the gears after I installed it and all it did was to bound it up.
