Has anyone tried Overdrive on the fk05?

Before I swithced to X-ray I ran a Losi and found the overdrive function to be very usefull when running a front spool. With the Fk05 going back to the 34T pully I assume I could run the overdrive setup again by using an FK04 1-way pully to gain some steering on corner entry , has anyone tried this?

Maybe we could get a response from the team, has there been any testing with an overdrive setup?

Not sure it would work. I don't know if you can get the belt to fit after you make the pulley change.

The belt fits fine, you just have to tighten it up a bit. What I am worried about is the diff in the drive ratios. On the losi for example if i geared @ 6.88 the front drive would be @ 6.69 or about .2FDR less than the front but on the fko5 the differance is much greater. With the fk05 geared @ 6.92 the front drive would only be @ 6.51 or ~ a .4fdr differance.

Whats overdrive? The front wheels rotate faster than the rear wheels?
