The diff' is the only thing I had to really keep adjusting. Too tight and the rear wants to swing out, too loose and you lose power ...I found a nice middle ground. I was at an indoor track, so sounds echo a bit, ...the car is super quite. Yet around corners when the diff is being spun there is a noticeable sound made. Kind of a whinning sound ...is this normal? I am used to TC which are silent (probably because the diff's are closed).

Also, taking tight turns you really have to slow down, -not like a TC. Your turn radius is reduced greatly when at higher speeds. ...just something I have to get a little used to.

Love the car though, once the tires warm up it really sticks to the ground nicely.
With these F1's it's all about the brakes when making tighter turns
