Exclamation Rear wheel problems

So I noticed that when I do burnouts I have traction from both tired but then when I try to do some doughnuts I'm only one legging it ?!

Do you guys have any idea what that might be ? Anything helps thanks

Its not a problem, it's the nature of the Posi-traction/Limited Slip Differential. When doing a burn out in straight line, power/torque is distributed equally to both wheels. When you are doing a donut, the weight and G-forces are shifted to one side and differential compensates for this by shifting more power to one wheel then the other. I know there's a more technical explanation, but basically, the differential is doing what it is designed to do. I'm sure other's will chime in with a better explanation and more help.

You have traction when doing burnouts? Something is definitely wrong there.
