    If you want to keep CV's then don't make 90 degree turns in the paddock either.
    If anyone needs one welded, email me, I can turn it around pretty fast if you want.

    I just started racing this year and all I've driven is a welded diff. I have no idea what anything else is like... Any of you other rabbit guys running the front sway with the welded setup? I have been told by many people not to, but one of the DC region rabbit zen masters swears you should keep it on. Thoughts?

    I run a front and rear bar with my welded setup. I did the same with an open diff. The major difference, is that I don't loose traction on the right hander turns. With the open diff, I used to hear the "chirping" of the inside wheel trying to get traction.

    With the welded diff, you get traction on both front wheels all the time. Keep in mind with a welded diff, that the inside tire travels the shortest distance, so it feels like it's "pulling from the inside".
