I checked my Yokomo and compared the 2. They are both extremely similar as if Tamiya copied the Yokomo MR4TC SD and got rid of the play, and made it symmetrical.
My Yokomo setup is locked front and rear, center one way. I was thinking of going the same route.
Or maybe this:
-Locked Rear(Spool)
-One Way Up Front
That's it.
Let me know what you guys think of this, also if you guys have any other suggestions on anything for the TB-03D let me know.
EDIT: Also I forgot to add, when I install these parts like the front one way up front and the spool in the rear do I need to "shim" how many shims do I add on each side? Is it the same? 3 on each side?
