I have been playing with the overdrive the last couple weeks in practice. What I have found is that it is not very helpful on a big 8th track with a long straight. The back end of the car wants to pass the front end and it is hard to drive straight. On the in-field it seems to work ok, and on a smaller track without the long straight it worked pretty well.

Keep in mind I was using it with the exotek locker as well. Not sure what I am going to go with but am going to practice all day on monday and play with some more setup.

I am not sold on overdrive being "the" setup for the tracks I run on but did find that I was able to drive it as easily as the exotek alone, or just the VTS slipper and standard inner pad.
