Default Diff with center one-way pulley

I was curious to the handling characteristics of having a diff in the front, along with a one-way pulley in the center. Has anyone tried this setup?

I heard that using a diff in the fron with a oneway pulley makes it so you have no front braking simmilar to running a front oneway, I use a direct pulley in the center with a front diff

Yes diff with center one way is great for tracks with lots of straights but still sharp turns

It should not spin out...10% is too little, 30% should be around the ballpark.

Stock @ 8.0 gearing?? USually I know people run their stock at about 5.0 gearing or something and 19 turn at about 6.0....I think you're over-reving your stocker.

I noticed you have a 110 spur, how much of the gears hang out can you take a picture from underneath for me.
Thanks Mate

Hi Addam,
110 spur - just a slight bit sticks out from bottom.
But by flipping over the bearing holders, I am able to use 112 spurs.
Regards mate

Default Slop...

Just re-did mine...

1. Replace all the ball cups
2. Shim all hinge pins
3. Replace any worn, parts, c-hub, knuckle etc...
3. Replace any worn, stripped screws etc...

that is all I did, cost about $25 in parts, but its tight!
