    It allows the front tires to pull you out of the corner on a more tighter/technical track.

    It'll still allow you to accelerate, it'll just give you more exit speed out of the corners. (your front tires will ballon more you accelerate)

    From my quick research, your buggy stock comes with 43 tooth diff gears, and has the option 41 tooth gears.
    I would think on more higher speed tracks you wouldn't want much toe out, as you might loose some straight line speed

    No its not mine.... Tekin is around the corner from me, they are always building very cool stuff, and have a very sweet racetrack that I go by and watch racing.

    Any of you ever order stuff from Tekin ?

    Tekin has always produced top notch, ESCs and chargers. Still surprises me that they went out of business the first time. Seems it was a management, not quality issue.
