Default Spool on 4WD Buggy

Hi

has anyone tried a spool on front?
Does it affect jump-ability on high-grip indoor tracks?

Greetings from switzerland

its not a psool in theoval racing - indianapolis type tyingy i assume the reference is to a locked front diff like you run in a touring car


anyway i'd imagine it to be poo unless you are running on super high grip

under acceleration on a slippy floor I'm guessing it should handle like a front one way but I bet it understeers like a bitch into corners. If its anything like the spool on my TC it'll eat tyres. Its good that people are trying different things tho. Keep us posted on your findings
