a hydradrive works sort of like a slipper, but it doesn't slip. it absorbes shock and protects the drivetrain.
it was invented by team losi and first appeared on the XX (correct me if i'm wrong fellas).
it uses a thick fluid, similar to diff fluid.

Not a hydra drive. Might be the Schumacher viscous unit.

Here is the link to the instructions. It was called a "viscodrive"
