Re: A sad day...
IF it can relate to on-road nitro RC.....
I have tried both setups on asphalt and the open the diff corners much better. The 'LSD' unit (heavy silicone diff oil to slow diff action) pushes into the turns very badly by comparison, and the believe it or not, the back end gets loose easier as well.

Personally, I'd be more worried with the results than the reasoning behind them. The results are there in black and white.

Perhaps the car relies on sliding around to be fast, and the LSD in conjuction with the limited torque a 2zz makes can't break the rearend out with the added traction. I wouldn't think a peg-leg would be better though.
