501X Drive Ratio

[501X Driver]

Who has run with the different pulleys in the front and what do you think?
I am looking for what you feel is the advantage to have the front over drive ratio. With a one way diff and the stock ball diff. Most of the 4wd and the ones I have driven in the past are the same front and rear and I am thinking I may run a 36 diff gear front and rear. I have just got the one way front unit and was wondering if I should try it with a 36t front and rear.
Let me hear from you if you have tried it.
Thanks

If your running the standard belts you can not fit the 36T in the front as the belt is to short. So you can only run 35T F&R unless you fit the 18/37 set up with 369mm belts the you can run 37/37

I ran 35T front and rear for a while - but at the Euro Champs I was struggling a bit. The rear was loose and I couldn't seem to get it stable on the dirt durface. Hupo suggested going back to the overdrive to settle the car and it worked well, the car was a lot easier to drive.
On a higher grip track then there might not be much of a difference:confused:

Ok,
I think it would be more beneficial if you ran the over-drive in front combined with the one-way. Thus you would benefit from the beter turn in, more pull in the front from the over-drive and lastly, your car would turn into a rear wheel drive down the straight, as the rear wheels start to speed up more than the front and then the one-way would start to coast.

Thanks jimmy, thats exactly what I was looking for in a reply.
I was wanting to feedback from people that tried it and what they thought of it. I just got my one-way and before I put it in I was wondering if I should try it. I was hoping there were more that had tried it.
