Hi guys

What one-way options are available for the FS2 and how popular are they?

Hi Mate,

I tried one once & hated the bloody thing

Its a one way diff... you should have it shown in your instructions?

Like Rob says not many use it.. i personally dont think theres any need for it.

As long as you have your diffs and slipper (most importantly..) adjusted correctly you will have more than enough steering

With a one way you will get plenty i guess but will sacrify your braking capabilities..

Cheers

Nick

thanks for the feedback guys!

I don't actually have a K-car at the moment but ran a B44 this season and being from the old skool, grew up with 4wd having one-ways. There's not one available for the B44 and I'm not really sure that I like the way it drives (but don't know if thats the car or a symptom of the full-time 4wd).

So I'm investigating potential alternatives...

Try the FS2... you will not be disappointed!! at long last i think this car is starting to get a good following like it deserves..

Dead easy to drive very strong and easy to work on

FS/FS2 is awesome!!

Its an odd car though in as much as the difference with and without the one-way diff is so limited people have driven mine and guessed wrongly if I have one fitted or not!!!

I always ran with the one-way as I like the disconnection of the front end under braking and lift off and thus struggled with perm 4wd. I have just started training myself to drive without one and it is hard work but is getting better every meeting (as in the driver is letting the car down less each time).

The option is there mate, the car is awesome either way ... MUCH smoother than a B44 without loosing out on steering.

I have a few bits in development too that might well help those people, like me, who prefer a one-way but would rather have diff-like front end drive ... like a centre one-way but better

Cant say much more than that. I've had mine for 3 meetings now and it keeps getting better. its very responsive to setup changes and its not overly expensive

I'm sure they did a oneway for the B44 cause i had one for my Buggy.

I think it was the TC4 oneway diff ?

But tbh it is horrible to drive with oneway diff you loose your breaking & traction i thought. The only best thing i liked was you got better sterring into corners.

As Nick says though is you get your diff's setup you will be recieved with perfect drive from the car.
It took me while to get it setup right & thanks to Nick once we got there is was even better to drive
