This set-up is again with no one-way diff or pulley installed. This setup has worked on an indoor carpet track, try it on yours, and give us feedback for what works for you.

Again, always use the tires and inserts that the fastest drivers in your class are using! The same combination will not always work for every person.

Good luck racing!
