This set-up is with saddle pack batteries and no one-way diff or pulley installed. This setup works good for dusty or loose asphalt surfaces.
On high-bite tracks, try the Super Front One-Way Diff with the 15T Aluminum Pulley, with the same settings as above. These allow you to maintain corner speed, while the gearing of the motor allows you to have good punch out of the turns.
Good luck racing!
