No, don't put the spool in the front. You'll set yourself up with some frustration. My first TC3 was used and had a spool in the front. It was a disaster until I swapped it out. The setup I currently use with the LCG is a spool in rear and a front one way. It works awesome. I can tap the brakes really fast to bring the rear end around, sorta like ebraking, instead of trying to power over all the time to drift. Definitely use the spool in rear and try the one way in the front and with the ball diff just to compare and see what you really like. For ride height, people used to tell me to go as high as possible, but I found that it made for a sluggish response when wanting to switch back. Go with a 1mm higher ride height in the rear.
Dude, thank you VERY MUCH for the input! I was going through my gear today and was reminded that the Xray has that multi diff. So I can change from either a diff, onesay or spool. My Xrays have been on the shelf all season with me focused on my 1/8th scale onroad nitro racing. I totally spaced out that I had all these different choices right in front of me. So you timming is perfect for me with your post! I need to order those shock springs off the internet as my local hobby store carries squat!
But that's cool because then I can order a few other goodies to get this machine looking killer. I'm a bit stumped on a body right now, I love so many different cars it's difficult to choose. Plus I like to be different then the crowd. Decisions, decisions. LOL. Anyway bro, thanks so much for the heads up again and pointing me in the right direction. It's very appreciated! If anyone has extra advice, feel free to post away. I'm sure after I get up and rolling I will have a few questions, so we'll just have to see how things roll along. Either way I am extremely stoked about this DRIFTING project. I'm starting to get impatient to go out and PLAY! OK, now I'm rambleing again, sorry. Thanks again Aries326! You rock bro. Later.[8D]
