It's a very low grip track. I used 36R's instead of the Take Off's and even they overheated at about 4 mins in. Fortunately I drove a lot of off-road and I can drive a way loose/pushy car.

I made changes to the front end. 3.5mm droop, 4.5mm ride height, #4 in shock tower, camber #2 in shock tower, ackerman forward and flipped.

why are you guys reluctant to run a one way???? the only times i dont' are if the rules prevent a oneway or, if i have faom tires....but as a general rule, if my car has rubber tires i use the one way......period....the car is faster.....

just my opinion...

I didn't know I was reluctant to run a 1 way, must be in denial or something.

if the track is hooked up 1-ways are dialed... if you're just drifting your car around a spool will make it easier to deal with

I'm reluctant to use a one-way anymore because the Losi unit kept breaking... I admittedly hit stuff way too often, but the one-way would go bad with a few wall or stranded car whacks, before an arm or hub or any other part would break off. I didn't want to keep buying the replacement halves...
I did like using the one-way though-- is there a stronger one available, or a way to beef up the Losi model? Or just a way to replace the bearing, which seems to be the part that went bad?

I have yet to break a 1 way, but I believe it is Tech Racing that makes an aluminum one.

tech racing does make an aluminum one-way that has a larger bearing and outdrive. rc modeler in HK sells them

I'm a big fan of the XXX-S, but I'll say that in my experience the one way is fragile. I've resigned myself to a spool or diff, and I am going to keep a oneway in my box to only use when I'm getting beat by a field of one ways. I've had two bearings in the one way go bad after just a few weekends of running them.

The only o-way I broke was the one I put in my xxx4 buggy.

i've had many bearings come apart (break) and since i've used a very good quality light weight oil in them have not (knock on wood) had any further trouble. but have strongly considered getting the tech one-way.

rocketron, what oil are you using on your one way bearings? I was always under the understanding we were supposed to use a small amount of grease on them. Maybe that's my problem? Interested to hear more thoughts on this because I do like the feel of the oneway in certain situations.

I know XRay makes some 1 way lube thats supposed to be good.

there are a couple of oils said to be for one-ways but i've been using marvel mystery oil. i don't know if everyone would agree on that being a quality oil but i've not had a one-way bearing go bad in the last 4 to 5 months sense i started doing this. just a drop or two every 4 race days or more.
