Now we got that out of the way, are you utilizing setup sheets to document what your current times are with each setup?

In an rc drag race, have you considered running a locked front only, with 2' toe out and locked front shocks?

When we calculate the scale speed that these vehicles operate at, the physics of normal vehicles is essentially thrown out the window.

PS: i'll tell KT So that you said hello
I dont know why you'd run a locked front differential when all the weight transfers to the back? Especially with locked front shocks you'd just sit and spin. Locked diffs are starting to sound a lot like re-inventing the wheel. They're working for us. You should give it a try if you even know how to lock a diff.

For road racing you will need a locked front diff and working rear diff. This could be different depending on what your level of traction but based on what tires and surface you are on that will be the easiest to drive on a road course. A locked rear diff usually makes the car unpredictable based on how much you are working the rear tires.

If the motor you are using is completely sealed, it might be similar to old silver cans we used to run. We used to break them in running them in reverse rotation in a cup of water.
