ITs basically very heavy Diff fluid. The stuff ranges from 2000 to 300,000wgt and higher. The heavier the less diff action and closer it will feel like a spool, but like a spool with give(so you can hit walls LOL). Ask to take a lap on Eddie's car. It felt amazing last weekend when i drove it.

With a spool you have to understand that even when not hitting things that very violent forces are in play. You turn a corner and you have high grip and the left and right tires are fighting against each other. All that load and strain goes right through the front end from one wheel nut right to the other side. I have seen spools break from the strain. You will notice outdrives and cvd's wear out way quicker then the same parts at the rear of the car.
