Perhaps not so obvious as you think Ollie. This is a brilliant idea for a racing model that only has to turn in one direction. I'm a two way turning kinda guy and found this to be a lovely and logical solution for a specific situation.

Or is this just an old racing model trick? If it's original then a big ol' :thumbup: to ya.
