Sounds like it isn't as smart as I thought it was. :)

It was designed for nitro and definitely does not perform like a one-way. Any time power is applied (fwd/brk/rev) it acts like at least 10,000 wt. However, off power it acts like 1,000. So, although it does not separate the brakes front to rear it does allow the car to turn much better off power. And, it is also much better turning on power. So, ultimately it's not perfection for e-conversions, but is a huge improvement.
After testing my SD in both the center and then the front, I'm really liking it in the front of my e-8ight. I would probably purchase a second SD for the center, but I'm waiting on reviews of the Slipperential.
