I've not tried running it front and rear... for the time being, I'll stick to this...
Yes, the guys around here only drive on rubber... Only the serpent guys have converted to foams...
Rather interesting...it's a must try!

Quick mini review of Kyosho item VZW010 - Alum Drive Washer Set
Just picked these up, they are alum pieces which replace the standard plastic hex hub. They have 2 sets of holes drilled through them one for standard outdrives, the other for the universal outdrives. There is a small cross pin which is held in place with a rubber o ring.
Likes:
Dont come off with your wheels!
Nice looking blue colour
Prevents bearing side loading
Dislikes:
They have some play in them which needs to be removed with shims (the screw locking types allow a bit more adjustment)
They lack the "circle" behind them which keeps some junk away from your bearing.
Overall: Quite good value, cheaper than the HPI and Mugen ones. Kawahara ones are the best if you can get them!

On top of that, you have a regular breaking like that of a normal diff! The best of both worlds I would say!

Does anyoe know where I can get a hold of some gears to overdrive the front wheels? The only one I can find is the Kawahara 24T one. This is about a 9% overdrive.......

The track temps have jumped a fair bit recently and I am finding that my foams are getting worn out much faster. Is this normal?? On the upside I can run rubbers again now and get good traction.
I am running a JP black C12 engine. If I power down out of the corner it will spin if I give it too much throttle (pretty normal). However somebody else at the track can get on the power much earlier and he will not break loose. He is running fairly similar specs to me but with less camber and less toe! However he says that stiffening the rear has made his car hold on better. This seems to be the reverse of what I understand. When he gets on power the car "skips" sideways but does not actually get loose. He is also running a Lola body I am not sure if this helps, I am running a protoform. Any ideas?? I am thinking that the stiffer rear is not overloading the outer tire as much?
