Default DB01-R ONE WAY BEARING

Just a quick question about the one way bearing options on the DB0. There are two differant types avaible,on that mounts where the front diff is located and the other on the belt drive pully on the engine mounting plate. I was wondering what the differance? Has anyone tried a back to back test on these parts?

AKA front and centre one-way, respectively.

The simple answer is:

Front One-Way - Use this if you race on indoor (carpet, tarmac etc) / high traction tracks where the front differential action is not important.

Center One-Way - Use this if you race on outdoor (dirt, grass etc) / lower traction tracks where front differential action is still needed to maintain grip.

The One-Way will improve off power front traction and steering control since it will allow the outside wheel to turn faster than the inside wheel while you are turning.

Basically your car will control like a 2WD 'off power' and a 4WD 'on power'

Hope this helps.
