you can always look. there should be a silver-colored servo under your car, behind your exhaust.
i'm sure someone will chime in with a picture for you.

U might have some extra grip on the limit with RAS but that is still not going to fix the body roll issue.

well, with the rear wheel aiding in steering, the def... does help reduce body roll.
