Also, though a front center one-way pulley works O.K., a front one-way diff works better, because all the center pulley one-way does, is make a standard diff work in only one direction. and the diff still has "diff action," meaning only one front wheel is driving at any time. A front one-way drives BOTH front wheels independently, which is much more efficient and for drift, control is much improved.

The TA06 would also benefit from a good carbon chassis conversion kit. The Exotek or RSector conversions are good. I have an RSector conversion on my TA06, and it is stiff, and very well made, all for $80 US! A couple of pics, below....

cheers for your advise and comments, the r sector looks great but I really like the look of the ifs suspension set up and would like to keep it..

would it it be good to put a front one way diff in with my front centre one way pully for maximum effect? Something like the front one way counter steer cs drift pully which is blue alloy and grey?

The first link was just a link to show the alloy 18t pully that I've got for the outer front pully, with the front one way in the centre... I was wondering if the alloy 18t pully fits behind the spur gear to replace the standard plastic one that is on the chassis

i have carbon reinforced black chassis parts already but if I was a serious drifter I guess I would go for the fully carbon conversion

cheers
