Lightbulb LSD for gen1 xmods!

If you want a diff that doesn't let one wheel spin like crazy, then follow these few simple steps.
1) Remove the diff from the chassis
2) Find a thin piece of card board and cut into a small circle just smaller than the diameter of the diff.
3) Poke a hole through the center to make a doughtnut shape.
4) Open up the diff and place the cardboard between the large blue gear and the outer casing.
5) Screw the diff back together and reassemble the car.
6) To find out if it worked, just hold one of the rear wheels and try spinning the other. If it is a bit grippy then well done.

*note that the 'slippyness' of the diff depends on the thickness of the
cardboard and/or how tight the diff is screwed back together.

I did this on my skyline and now it drifts a heck of a lot better. Good Luck
