Hi guys,
i dont know it has been ask b4, i would like to learn more about front overdrive...
what is the effect of more/0/less front overdrive??
will this front overdrive affect more front tire wear??
thanks in advance...

cheers,

front overdrive mean front wheel turn faster then rear.

to increase front overdrive, reduce the front side pulley's teeth. ie from 22t to 21T

frontover drive increase on trottle steering. but some cases it will reduce off trottle steering.

increase front roll center because you need to run front tyre smaller from the start.

thanks for the reply... i'm still very new to this setup...
when u say front rotate faster... is it during acceration or during full speed...
becos if change front side pulley 22 to 21 i think during accer will be slower then when top speed will be faster???

Front overdrive means that for every revolution the rear tyre makes the front tyre will rotate more than one revolution, and will be a constant ratio ie. will not change depending on whether you are accelerating or at top speed.

thanks for the explanation...
i'm trying to make my ride (S710) to get back a std front overdrive cos i change the rear drive already from 24t/45t(std) to 22t/47t. mainly due to belt tension and better accer....
the front is 19t/35t and the side is 22t/22t...
any suggestion... anyone thanks...

Increased overdrive will DECREASE steering on power. Reduce or eliminate overdrive to increase on-power steering, speed, and efficiency. Increase overdrive to make car more forgiving on corner exit.

wow... i'm abit lost here,
by using the serpent drive calculator... when change the front to 18/35 and side 22/21 with rear 22/47 the front overdrive is 3.16% with tire 60F and 61R.
is this a good starting point???

or should i go with...
19/35 front, 22/22 side and 22/47 rear =14.07% front overdrive???

Sorry... but somewhat escapes to me in this chain of posts (nothing wrong... everything is correct) but... why need someone mess with the pulley teeth numbers if he runs foams and he can freely cut at whatever he wants just to test it?.

Rather than start a search for suitable pulleys belts I feel that's much practical to play with some tyre split sizes and is a fine a quick way to test for itself is he wants more or less overdrive.

use 24/47 rear 35 19 front and 21 on the 2speed 22 on the mid shaft.
This is the stock ratio on the 720.
1mm smaller fronts will give 1:1

That is a lot of overdrive! I would reduce it.

thanks all for the comment...
i'm using 22/47 rear cos i cant get a good belt tension cos it's a 710 when using the gear diff(47)... the belt is too tight...
what will too much overdrive affect the car handling?? is it not recomended??
is it the best to get clost to 1:1??
i'll try the smallest overdrive pulley configuration... then play with the tire to get close to 1:1...

cheers,
