I fully understand Diffs in 1/8th as Cosie mentuions it gives you the ability to change the car by giving more or less traction to the front or rear of the car.
To me and please correct me anyone, the FS will run approx equal power to the front and rear i guess maybe a little extra to the front as it has a short prop shaft as opposed to the long one to the rear.
The slipper simply allows the driver to adjust the amount of power to all the wheels adjustable depending on track conditions.
Too loose and you will lose acceleration due to the slipper not producing maximum power to the drivetrain.
Too tight and the car can wheelspin losing accelration due to loss of traction. A good driver could in theroy drive with no slipper or with it locked which i guess should be how you run on high grip.
The Slipper mod by our friend is nothing more than a slipper to me which is likely to be quite loose, therefore on slippery conditions could prove to be very helpful.
Feel free to correct me.
