Status: offline 		PosiTrac is a 1:1 car clutched limited slip differential. it does in no way guarantee equal power being sent to both wheels, it just helps distribute it more evenly. locking the diff is a BAD IDEA. your car will handle terribly, and if you tag a curb with a rear tire, your other tire can't spin to make up for the one being impacted not being able to spin, so you'll break drivetrain parts.

get some silicone diff fluid and fill your rear differential with 3,000 wt and front diff with 7,000 wt fluid-you'll be happy you did

No prob buddy...

Don't know about the speed because I never clocked it but like i've said before, I had trouble controling my vx without the shell.
The wing helps allot.

Status: offline 		Hello i was thinking of getting the Lighting and noticed that a couple of you were getting the vx18 motor. I was wondering when i go to the redcat site i dont see that you have that option, so where did you get it or is it a different brand? If it was a different brand what is a good switch that you have seen? Thanks
