Default Diff slip vs. clutch slip

Hey guys,

There's a big jump at my local track, where when I land it wrong (wheels spinning at a different rate than they should for the landing), I get a sharp sound as something slips.

Does a clutch slip (good) make any sound or does only a ball diff slip only make a sound? I've had a loose clutch before and it didn't seem to make much noise, but the car obviously had less power and I could smell a burnt clutch smell (like a 1:1 car would make).

Trying to diagnose if my clutch is too tight or if diff is too loose. Or if what I'm hearing is the clutch. I don't think the clutch is too tight, because much looser and it will slip under normal power/acceleration.

Also, I crashed the car and now at neutral my tires go full left at neutral steering. It's almost as if I had removed the horn and stuck it back on 45 deg. to the left. Just to get it centered, I have to move the radio full right. Is it possible for the teeth/gears to just jump like 10 teeth? Or is this more likely an electrical issue? I have no servo saver...

Ray
