but Corvette is using that strange leaf spring setup....

And this drive train could improve traction by using a sealed diff, and using silicone diff fluid to prevent the module from "diffing out"

A limited slip diff is normally all mechanical, and uses helical gears to prevent "diffing out" (but there are others that operate on clutches or springs)

a traditional limited slip setup would be VERY costly for this size (the gears would be expensive), but silicone would be a great option....

Many small differentials are easily available from any rc car shop or ebay

Cool idea!
