    Think I shoudl run 1 drag radial?

    I mean I have an open diffy...
    guy is selling a set of 3 Salad shooters for cheap, I might be able to get the one off him for cheap, then buy one drag radial and put it on...

    I mean the left rear doesn't spin, not even in the grass...

    so why waste money on 2 tires?

    In theory anyway, an open diffy will put all the power on the easiest wheel to turn. Therefore, if you had a sticky tire on only ONE side, then all the force would got to the OTHER side, since it would be the easiest to turn.

      Skinny's right. It will just put the power to the other wheel. Open diff stinks!!! I really can't wait to get a posi in mine.
