Now that would really lighten up the moving parts of the drive train, but you'd lose some tunability, and the ability to set mechanical brake bias front and rear. Is brake bias a tuning function thayt really makes a difference?

I'm running a clutch and two speed on the DM-1 right now, thinking of that car as more of a big track car What do you guys think about the use of a spool vs. center diff in our 1/8th scale powerhouses for most of the tracks here in SoCal?

Here's a couple of pics of the DM-1. Thanks to SNG for the shock towers!
