Torsen Differential?


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Wtf is a Torsen?: The Torsen (from Torque Sensing) works as an open differential when the amount of torque going to each wheel is equal. As soon as one wheel starts to lose traction, the difference in torque causes the gears in the Torsen differential to bind together. The design of the gears in the differential determines the torque bias ratio. For instance, if a particular Torsen differential is designed with a 5:1 bias ratio, it is capable of applying up to five times more torque to the wheel that has good traction.

Why did I post this?: Anyone know if there is something like this for an rc? I know in my friend's hummer it has this...H1 that is...It can slap all the power to the wheel with more traction...but if no wheels have traction she slides right back down..no torque to any of the wheels...

Geez when i asked a toyota mechanic what a torsen did ( they were advertising they had them on 4 runners a couple of years ago) he was clueless about it
I thougnt it was named afer some swedish guy named torsen

Anyway they make them for centre diffs on 1/8 scale buggies.
