Okay, I see it now. Both front and rear tire turn at the same rpm regardless of its diameters. Since the front is bigger, the front travels more for every revolution than the rear does. So thats where you get the FWD.

Thanks.

My current setup is with a stiffer sway up front and 38shore front and rear at 60mm with no split in diam. I'm getting good turn in at the start of the turn and good traction exiting the turn. Shock and shock settings are still stock.

All credit goes to Sam at Kamikaze for helping me dial in this set-up. Nigel deserves credit too. He set-up my clutch.
