Welcome to the Inner Sanctum

What you describe is correct, as it is not a diff up front, it is a one-way. It allows drive to the front wheels (and is locked like a locked diff) but when drive is removed, it allows the front wheels to freewheel, like a pushbike crank.

Hey guys, need a setup for the Pro 4 for a (bumpy from what I have heard) parking lot track. I am heading to the Hitec race and plan on taking the Pro 4 along with my Mi2 (Mi2= front diff, Pro 4=One Way) and I have been running the car on carpet. Any help would be appreciated.

How's the traction? I found out that the STOCK setup works excellent.

P.S.
At my local parking lot track, it's pretty bumpy in the straight.
I run 5mm droop all around. 40wt all around. Coppers in front/Silvers in back. 5mm ride height all around. Take Off CS-22

The collars are used to hold the wheels on rc airplanes, or to hold together 2 z bends for a servo linkage (think RC10 from 1985)
Does anyone have the part number for the little dubro collars??

I saw a pic of Hara's car with some collars on the sway bars but not on his most recent car... any ideas they were purple anodised?

I have no idea what traction will be like. It's at Hobby People in Poway. It's supposed to be hot so I may use either 27's or 32's

Fastrax make anodised collars in a load of different colours including purple. Your LHS should be able to get hold of them no problem.
