I am thinking it wouldn’t be too hard to simulate a limited slip by comparing the rpm’s between each motor and reducing the voltage to one of them if it is spinning faster. > > Maybe they would have run into problems with clearance and mounting them out back like that, and it is probably just simpler all around to mount them in the tunnel. Would be cool for future versions though. That would add a lot of complicated electronics to the car. He is using an AC drive which is very common in electric drag cars, as well as what OEM’s are developing. These are typically 200-300 volts, hence the need for the big battery bank resulting in the increased weight. The increased gear reduction from the rear diff helps increase the torque to the wheels, even though AC drives have excellent low RPM power. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/electric-240sx/107347)._
