Is there anybody out there who has this on their REVO, if so lets here a report. Is there any difference in performance (turning, jumping, etc.)?

its basicly a one way for a revo.It takes away your front braking but it makes your turn in much sharper both on and off throttle.It makes the revo more diffucult to control but makes it much faster if you can control it.Its made witha one way bearing very close to the one in a pullstart.

By taking away the front braking it allows you to come into the turns much tighter. Plus you don't lose any steering since the front wheels don't have any brakes being applied. Works awesome.

Also makes for great powerslides on-road and the one-way bearing is the some one that is used on the TRX 2.5 starter so it's an off the shelf replacement if you ever need one which I doubt. No dirt to speak of gets in it at all. Mine has been thru a lot and the bearing looks like new.

Yup, the 1 way on the front drive shaft is a great idea. Unlike a touring car front 1 way diff, which esentially becomes a spool on throttle, this one allows you to keep the standard diff, and keep the benefits of the 1-way.

if you drive straight it is a spool, but in a turn it allows different wheel speeds

thanx for the replies. I'm thinking about getting one, it is pricey though and I just purchased the mip center drives. so we'll see.

After putting 1/2 gallons of fuel through my Revo, all of which was on an offroad track. I have a couple questions:

1.Why would you want anymore steering out of this thing? Coming into a turn, just tap the brakes and this thing turns on a dime.

2. Coming into turns you only have rear brakes, umm.......no thanks. I put the one way in my XXX4 because everyone said you had to have it. I took it out after 1 battery pack. I like having four wheel braking not only because you stop faster but your car is much more stable under braking also.

3. How well will this hold up to a small block powered monster truck? Especially with the bigger tires and the constant pounding from jumping and turning?

Nice idea however.

Just my 3 cents.
