I've been at a Wargaming convention since thursday. Last week my OB4 front diff blew out. Havent opened it up yet.
But when I put the 100,000 wt in it I saw the wear marks were a little to the outside, so I put in some washers.
NO!!!

Manticore: I've already ordered the Ball diff for the rear, & one way for the front. Steve from Ofna told me thats what he runs, & was planning on going that way. I was waiting to develop my skills a little. Now I'm used to almost no brake, & I drive thru a corner throttle on.

I have a bit of a problem I've been fighting for the last couple of months in my setup. My car comes into a coner with lots of grip but when i come out of the coner and I hit the throttle the back end washes out on me some of the time.I figure i might need to go with a harder spring in the rear or same all around.But what do you guys think.
My Set up after extensive use
Camber: front 1 rear 1.5
Toe: front in 1 rear 3
Diff oil: front 100,00 rear 50,000
shock oil: 50 all around
springs: front yellow (hard) rear blue (soft)
swaybars: front only
ride hight: 5mm both ends
Caster: medium in front and thin spacer in rear
Engine: RB .12 side exhaust with MIP header and GH ringed pipe This combo is the best I've evered used.Lots of power almost to much.

No sway bar on the rear , eh? That w'd be my 1st guess.
Got the front one way in. I should have it ready to run for sat. night.

Hows that one way working out. Any difference. I have a one way but wanted to know if itsany good before I stick it my car.
How much is that aluminum cross brace. I'm slowly aluminizing my car. so far I got front and rear bulkheads. Main shaft Bulkhead, Main shaft bearing bulkhead, middle shaft blocks, rear block cover, and aluminum side belt tensioner.

I ran a few tanks sat nite, None of the Impulse guys were there. But thats OK cause I was having motor tuning problems, I think comes from an air leak, WHEW! The one way lets get thru the twistites a little nicer, er ah faster. BUT, now I'm leaning more, so the inside rear tire lifts more causing a premature shift into 2nd. Time to take out the 50wt shock oil & get the 60wt. Before I do that I'll redo my sway bars ( ya know thw ball & cup thingy).
Overall I instantly liked the one ways, I was already using almost no brake. So my driving style is good for the one way.
