OK I found what was probably my big problem with the car spinning when coming out of corners.
It seems one of the diff plates managed to move and deform the delrin
it turned about 20degrees and has pushed up two lumps at each of the flat sections in the delrin which must have been rubbing on the diff gear, causing it to bind a little. Just enough to make it like it's occasionaly had rear wheel drive.
What a pain, I have no spare diff halfs. I'm going to have to stick to a one way in the front and put my extra diff in the rear. I've trimmed the lumps off and I'm glueing the plate one, just so I have an emergancy diff, should work since the Lab diffs don't have the flat sections to hold the plates it just uses glue. Good to know my setup can't have been that bad, nor my driving....
Now do I wait until I need a load of bits or do I order one part to get shipped internationaly

I found out that Square makes motor mount plus drive system for R2 like PAL drive system. Any difference? Square motor mount looks like heat sink design.

Johnbull - I think you should try ordering an R2 from Speedtech, just to see how you like it. It seems like the Barracuda is starting to get known more out here, and definately proving itself with winning the KO race, and 2'nd place at Reedy at my home track, SoCal Raceway. It seems to be the car to have for stock racing, so since you run stock, it seems to add up just about right
