If anyone has any red hubs or shaft holders I'm interested

The main race there each year is their round of the SMTCA championship, which has Mod class and 19spec class.
This year they also held a one off event, running the track in reverse with 19spec and 27stock classes.
They'll be racing indoors now it's winter so it's not worth the journey.

Quick question.. Does the R2 come with a One way or a diff in front?

OK it's been one, when I first got the Cuda and didn't have a spare diff yet but with a one way one clean lap is an acheivement
It wasn't too bad since the car was nice and stable, just had to think twice when applying "brakes" Luckily with the new chassis brakes weren't needed too much, the way the car now turns in without spinning into the wall was quite amazing at times.
I was using it because my main speedo is in for repairs and I've been borrowing one for the last two weeks, but that had to go back to the owner. Don't know what I'll do with the LRP now, maybe it'll make a good paper weight

Thanks for the fast answer. I am thinking of trying this car out. I have been running a Mission since it came out and this looks like a sweet ride. I hope SpeedTech gets some more in soon!

it's wooden gym floors, where you're sliding around on a layer of dust So grip is minimal, making things interesting the handbrake style of braking from a one way is not what you want

I thought they were clear in the kit, but if you got left over black ones, those are fine, all the same thing. Cram them in there as deep as they'll go, this will prevent the 1 way drive cup from sliding itself out of the 1 way.
