22-4 one-way clicker

I spend a few hours at the track testing out some springs for the 22T 3.0, some diff fluids and front springs on the B64D, and I also tried out the one-way clicker for the 22-4 2.0.

The one complaint performance-wise I have with the 22-4 is that it doesn't like to land cockeyed on one wheel.  The one-way clicker works by allowing the front wheels to freewheel (or at least rotate at a faster rate than the rears) under deceleration, or when landing jumps.  This smooths out the landing if you're off throttle, at the cost of straightline deceleration.

Overall, I found the buggy to be more forgiving and smooth on landing jumps (and you can still power your way on landing like you should with a 4x4), but more unstable under hard braking.  I'm thinking of leaving it in since my son is the primary driver of the buggy, but for sure if it were my car I would take it out.  It's too much of a braking loss to justify the landing performance.

I also put up a review of the 22-4 2.0 on YouTube.  It's a bit long, but let me know what you think!
