I am referring to TOP PO-PCW030 like this http://rcmarket.com.hk/product_info....oducts_id=6794

The center weight is tapered to accommodate the belt droop. The two o-rings that come with it go into the recesses on the bottom to keep the thing from slipping. Mine did not come with a nut so you will need to find a nut that fits into the cut out on the top. The hole in the chassis centerline closes to the motor mount is where you screw it in. If you have the lipo chassis you will have an extra set of holes in the middle. I use the ones furthest to the battery side of the chassis because I am running the drive train flipped.

hope this helps.

i ran the same set up with the spool and rear gear diff, when i added the front gear diff all i had to do was to dial down the dual rate on the radio because i gain so much more steering with the gear diff. Besides that is the same set up

No, the spool doesn't have a separate pulley, its all one molded piece with separate outdrives.

What is a good servo suggestion (metal gears) with transit speeds below .10 sec? Im partial to my Sanwa servos with transit speeds of .06, but they are aging and i feel bad putting either of them in this spankin new car...
