I can see a slipper for carpet/turf tracks, but honestly the center diff is so much more forgiving I think it's benefits outweigh the slippers benefits, especially if the slipper isn't that much lighter. If the slipper were lighter and also slipped the front and rear independently then I can see using one, but otherwise I'm always going to run a diff.
thanks. what weights have you (and the team) tried in the centre diff on carpet?

will bornhorst be releasing his carpet setup anytime soon?
