check your droop screws, seems like it's preventing the arm from dropping down.. this usually happens as your tires gets smaller..

Did you adjust your shocks that can help with the ride height to raise it or lower it.

SOLOARTIST 702

yeah did that i better take off the shocks make sure the arms drop down i know its nothing major

What has been your experience with a front one-way versus front differential on tight tracks? Does belt tension (tight vs loose) make a difference in either case?

All the guys that I've spoken to at my local track say that I should switch out the one-way to a front diff. Why would Kyosho put out the car with a one-way to begin with? There must be certain advantages to a one-way that I'm missing. The kit comes with the necessary parts for a front diff minus the diff gear set and bevel shafts, so I'm not sure what to think of this. Isn't it possible to adjust the wheel alignment / tire shore when using a one-way to compensate for any handling deficiencies on tight tracks?

Thanks!

The only disadvantage i have with a one-way is no brakes, but if you can drive without it then the one-way can be lethal.

Alot of people have different theories about what you should use for tight and open tracks, some say one-way is good for tight tracks because it gives alot of steering then others say diff or axle is good for tight tracks because it provides brakes to stop.

I don't know whats true because i have had alot of success with one-way at both style tracks it depends on driving style, solid or axle is easier to drive with but one-way would be faster.

Try all of them and see what works best, you can get a one-way from k-factory that converts into solid just by putting 2 pins in.

the car can be driven with the 1way you guys must set up your cars to slow down in the turn not stop!! it can be done just take your time and set the car up

In the hands of a good driver, the one-way is the fastest way around the track. For normal drivers (like me) a front diff or locked one-way is easier to drive. When setup correctly, a front diff will handle almost as well as a one-way but the car will be not as quick, especially out of the corners. With a locked one-way, the car will be very quick but the handling will suffer. The car will not turn as well. I must tell you that my information comes from experience with my Serpent and not my RRR. I assume the results will be similar except the RRR turns better so the locked one-way may not be as bad.
If your track is tight I would try all the options and see which works best for you.

Great info. good to know the difference between one way vs diff.& solid I like running with a one way, but I will try out a diff & solid sometime down the line.

There`s also the Atomic Multi-Diff.......same thing as above, use a pin to switch between a solid front diff and a one way.

I was thinking about getting the Atomic Multi-Diff. Anybody have any comments on it's performance/quality?

Hey, I just got a V one RRR WC with a sensor and a OS 12TZ 5P... and when i weighed it, the chassis weighed 3,000 grams.... I'm trying to get my car to weigh somewhere at 1,000 - 1,700... Do you know any hopups/upgrades i can buy to lower the heavieness and to improve the steering? Money isn't an issue....

Thanks

Look into lightweight shafts,pulleys,clutchbell,& what servos are you using
