Power Loss W/ All Wheel Drive?
Sorry if this has been discussed, I'm new to this forum. Does adding the all wheel drive really make that much dif? Does it cause the batteries to run down quicker? PEACE

No. I have AWD and off of my Energizer Rechargables I was able to run it for two days, and of course on the second day it finally ran out of juice (Note: They were about maybe 16-20 minute runs on the first day, and then till it died out on the 2nd. It still had about the same power on the second day's beginning.) I guess its just dumb luck.

i noticed a power loss in my skyline when i put the awd in (stage 2 drag motor) when i uest to punch it from a dead stop in my garage it would spin the tires for about a foot now when i do it they dont spin at all maybe its cuz the 2 front wheels are gripping to good or somethin but it does seem a little weaker
and is anyone elses right turns wider than there left?

Yea, I put the AWD drive in mine. Didn't really notice any loss but it maybe because I only had it stock for 1hr before installing it  Same here, my turns to the right are much wider than my turns to the left. I even tried the suspension and steering kit, soft springs front and hard back, 3.0 tie rod. It helped for 2 days but now my right turns turn like the st.range is set all the way to MIN.

The replacement red front AWD A-arms have increased castor which reduces turn-in. Makes for a better handeling car on the fast straights, but also makes for a car that does not turn as sharply.
