why dual one-ways?
seems that all pro level kits now come with dual one-ways (pulley and differential). question is, why is there a need for a one-way pulley when there's already a one-way differential? i can only guess that having the pulley with the one-way diff already in makes the drivetrain ever slightly more efficient, is that all the difference there is? am i missing something? greatly appreciate any explanations on that.
i'm currently trying to make my almost box stock hpi pro3 competitive, and the setup of choice for my track is to run dual one-ways. i've already got the one-way diff, and considering a one-way pulley, which may be hard to find around here, but possible. should i or should i not get one?
thanks and cheers!

You guessed the correct reason. You can order the part from HPI directly.

Is there any point in instanlling a one-way pulley ONLY? I know some just install front one ways but what about center(pulley) one-ways?

yep, it's sorta like an intermediate setting between dual diffs and front one-way. gain offpower steering but on-power still behaves like a dual diff car

I ran my 415 this way it it really kicked ass

one ways
Some people need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel. If one ways are such a big deal why don't they use them on big cars? Because it doesn't work. They used limited slip diffs. physics and laws of motion don't change from big to little cars.

Now this example is to the complete extreme, but an example nonetheless. At nano-sized scales, properties of elements are different from when they are "normal" sized, like gold. When extremely tiny, it glows red and all its boiling point, melting point, etc. are different from gold that most people think of. Again, a complete extreme, but just to show that that while the laws of physics don't change, how they affect certain objects can (or be altered).
