Re: POSITRACTION for FWD
Positraction thrives in straight lines. The reason being that it has more of a tendency toward locking the drive wheels together for even distribution of the power. That will present a challenge on any type of circuit with corners, including a simple oval track and especially on dirt. If it were RWD it could work to your advantage depending on your driving style. With FWD, it's the last thing you want unless you're just drag racing. When you turn, the wheel speeds on both sides won't really adjust to the turn like you want them to, instead they'll want to keep going the same speed. The result; hideous understeer. They'll adjust slightly, but there are much better limited slip differentials for your purpose.
