Comes with a front one-way and spool.

Comes with a centre one-way and locked pulley - very handy.

Shame it only comes with one front plastic pulley that you have to swap between the one-way and the spool

It would be interesting if they release blue toe blocks as well other than 2.5 & 3 degress. Looks good

I just can't get the shaft to stop rotating when I try to tighten the ball joint - anyone got any ideas?
Get a 3mm tap or use a cap head screw to start the shock end first. Should make things eaiser w/ the shock shaft.

I used a cap head screw first and then applied heat to the end and that seemed to work a trick.

I hope they bring out the full set of toe blocks in blue too.

DUDE! awesome track, 410ft!! That's like 5 times the lenght of my local track, I hope your racing mod. sory but I have no clue where to start, I would ask the local hot shoe at the track for a starting ratio and work from there.

Default Spool+center One-way or Spool+fixed pulley

For medium to High grip asphalt, which is more better Spool+center One-way or Spool+center locked pulley?
