Status: offline 		Are those the Redcat tires or another brand?? Redcat has some listed on their site, I've been waiting for them to show in stock. I was actually thinking of covering an old set of tires with tape and seeing what happens.

Status: offline 		Did you get those drift tires in today?? I am looking forward to a video of those. I just went down to the park to do some drifting on the basketball court, of coarse when I get there I find that my glow igniter was dead.

PS: Hows your old lady been doing?? She starting to get around like normal again??

Status: offline 		Speaking of diffs, I just got back not even 5 min ago from running my Tornado offroad in a grass field. For some reason at the end of my last tank I lost power to the rear wheels. The limited slip diff does not seem to be working, I'll spin one tire and the other does nothing. It is pretty packed with damp grass but the wheels do not have any resistance when I spin them so I don't think anything is binding up. Do you veterans have any idea what could be going on?? As I said I have not had time to tear into it, I'll clean it up and give more details later tonight.

**UPDATE** Just got done cleaning it up a bit, still didn't tear into it, just visually inspecting. After cleaning it up and with the wheels off when I spin one rear axle it spins the other one forward as if it had a locked diff. The only thing that comes to mind is maybe the grub screw in the rear center drive cup came loose or fell out. This would obviously kill the power to the rear wheels but wouldn't it also cause the diff to act the way it is?? I'll give it a closer look in just a bit.

**UPDATE #2** I just got done looking it over and think I found the problem. It looks like I broke the rear center dogbone. I believe the diff should be fine. Take a look at the picture below.
