Dontfeelcold...I would suspect there is a bent or broken part somewhere.Strip the car down tochassis and bottom gearbox halfs,check everything as you assemble it especially hinge pins.If possible put car on set up station and double check setup(camber/toe/droop etc)
Can anyone tell me...
which AE diff nut do I need for the Pro4? Is it the AE steel or pastic diff rebuild kit?
Also need the part number for the new Hara Pro 4 motor mount? Anyone know where I can order one from? Tower?

If, so, I would go with a diff or a spool. The track has slow corners (180 degree and 90 degree truns). You have to slow down considerably to make it thru those turns.
Yeah the spool sounds like fun. I have not driven a car with that yet. This allows braking correct?

and yes the spool will allow lots of breaking.

If you use the Spool you should apply a bit of the HZ715 Pro Joint Grease, if not your Spool will wear out very fast.
I don't know if this has already been posted: Try to use 30shore O-rings in the dampers, this will make the car a bit more stable, especially when you drive over curps. If you got no 30Shore O-rings you can replace one O-Ring with an aluminium Spacer, this will have the same effect but you'll have to rebuild the dampers regularly.
You can mount the old Orings under your ballcups, this will take out a bit of clearence, but the suspension will still move very smooth.
The new 1.1mm 3 hole pistons are very good on carpet, should be the same like the Tamiya 3hole pistons but they will fit better on the shockshaft.

I wanted to know anyones opinion on running a Pro4 with a front one-way and rear spool. I tried it this weekend on a very large parking lot track for nitro cars and it seemed to work well.
Does anyone have any good setup tips for running on a track like this?
My setup is below:
Front Rear
toe +2 -1
camber -2 -2
ride height 5mm 5.5.mm
springs soft integy super soft integy
roll bar none none
droop 5 3
caster 4 none
wheelbase short short
kick-up=none
anti-squat=none
roll center max max
tires cs27 with traction compound
shock position Left to right front=3rd hole rear=2nd hole
The car isn't handling bad at all, it's not oversteering or understeering to much. I just want some help in refining my setup on a large sweeping track
that some of yall might have more experience on. P.S. I want another second a lap
Thanks

when you do a oneway and spool combo or even oneway front and rear what do you gain and what do you loose
