im not familiar with the COW but the FOW i know and i have it installed in my 03f. to long to explain the benefits of FOW but i think its preferred by most rc drifters worldwide. :cheers:

it al depends on you personal preferences.. im fine with my evo on FOW and rear spoll.. same as tim's pro-d with his COW and rear spool.

up to you man clown

if you're gonna get an FOW, i suggest taking the one from tamiya..
it fits perfectly.. i'm not sure about the other brands that makes FOW for tamiya as well..

is there anybody using an FOW from other brands aside from tamiya?
please share some inputs..

i think your gonna need universal cupjoints for those if your gonna use it for your FOW.. ive tried it before with the universal shaft i sold you.. stock cup joints that came with the FOW is just too big.. its for dogbones only.

research more to be sure clown

Sir Ashy,

FOW and COW serve the same purpose. And that is to make tighter turns and (of course ) the e-brake effect. =)

Lots of co-drifters back in the Philippines have been suggesting to go for the COW.
Why? They say that the COW is more controllable and does not leave you in spin-outs.
This being said, i would think it would be correct to say that the FOW gives more of the e-brake effect.
Spin-outs are not a bad thing, you just have to use it to your advantage.
That why we have to learn how to counter steer after giving the brake a small smack. =)

My opinion: Depends on your driving preference. =)

HTH sir. +D

i prefer having a FOW, why? gives your car fast transitions during switch backs, I have a center one way shaft from topcad and it was a mistake! when i e-brake, it spin with no reason. folks, just a reminder when you put a news parts in kits, i'm sure the handling will change drastically. so first, try feel to your car's capabilities. then you adjust. :bom:
