got my wheels and awd kit today!!!! just waiting on the stilly, motor (went with xeric awd), fets and shocks to get here.
took everything apart to paint some of the chassis parts tomorrow they arrived!!!! here the wheels after paint (took my time to make sure i didnt mess them up) put some of the chassis back together. just couldnt wait to see what the wheels would look like on the car (no shocks on it thats why it sits so low) nice clean workstation (ok i cleaned it up for the pic lol) what do you guys think?

why would i lock my diffs. im doing road course style racing not drag racing. i want to be able to go around turns and locking the diffs reduces your cornering since both wheels will be traveling the same speed and through a turn you want the outside wheel to be able to travel faster than the inside wheel. so to answer your question: no

I know I have seen a limited slip type diff out there for xmods but I can't remember where I saw them. I tried googling it but can't find it now. Anybody know anything bout this?

I believe you can tighten the atomic diffs enough to get a "limited slip" type effect. I don't have them for my Xmod but the atomic diffs for my Mini-Z can be tightened almost to the point of locking.
I know the gen1 Xmods had a limited slip diff that came with the AWD kits, but they weren't very good as I recall.
