Something to check would be front droop. Make sure the king pins have the same amount of gap under weight.
In most cases, foam tire pan cars don't need brakes beyond maybe a little drag brake. If set up well, the car will just turn... no brakes needed. If you need brakes, the car is pushing. Fix that first.

Come drive on our outdoor asfalt tracks then YoDog... You WILL need to brake in some turns...
If the diff is really okay, meaning it is build so that the spurgear just doesn't slip, there could be other problems...
You may have checked the car's tweak but did you check if the chassis is straight? Check that with a caliper body or a straight ruler of some kind. Try to loosen the screws of the front suspension and then gently tighten them again cross-wise.
Check for any binding in the centerlink, sidelinks, shocks, springs and tubes.
Make sure the kingpins are smooth without any binding.
Make sure the front springs are the same rate AND are equal in lenghth.
Check the tires, they should be the same diameter left and right.
Check the balance left & right of the complete car. If it is much out of balance, get it in balance by re-mounting electronics or add weight in places needed...

I love the lola bodies and the car carries tons of corner speed with it. just not sure if I'm loosing speed /laptimes compared to the swift or saxo bodie, we're running 10.5 boosted. running on a smaller track then most of yours track is around 300x100. cars doing 58 mph on the back straight according to my gps...

You love them or you hate them... No problem!
If I had to choose between getting TQ & 1st place with a Lola or getting Just outside the podium with a kick-ass looking Pro10 body that actally looks like a car... I lose the race, period!

10.5 boosted??
No need for a lola.
It is just plain old ugly on a Pro10.
You could use the Mix Nissan or the VIP body if you needed the down force or better yet setup the car better
If you have that short a track then the speed in the corners isn't that high to get the advantage of the lola body at all and your better of with the saxo or swift body.

It can happen with any car... Just remember that the diff is the diff, it has only ONE setting. It is not a tuning option for the car. It has to work just right.

I've been running at Brendale about every 2 weeks - 1/12 and touring cars. I dabbled in Pro10 for a bit, but not for me. They are awesome around the track though!
