If your interested I would say consider the X-wing driveshafts.

Now the famous question... What are X-wings?

The x-wing driveshafts are a oneway driveshaft system similar to the rd quick turns

Quote from the maker
"These are very similar to the RD center one-way accept they replace the front driveshafts. The RD just dis-engages the front end where as our set up dis-engages the front wheels separately from each other. This will allow for maximum entry steering and with a 300K front diff, max pull from both front tires off the corners."

You run them with a locked front diff to achieve the best possible entry and exit steering. With a lock front diff, you have great exit steering, but will push horribly on entry. This is where the one ways in each axle (the X-Wings) come into play. They allow you to essentially have "zero diff" when entering a corner, allowing maximum entry steering





Think of it as this lol. When going into a corner and applying the brake each tire spins seperately. However with a heavy weight diff oil, as soon as you give the throttle its as if having a spool in the front, both tires will engage and you will shoot out of the corner
