Lets say you lift a wheel off the ground with a locked diff in the middle of a corner, the wheel that is lifted off the ground (lets call it the inside wheel) is going to move at exactly the same rotational velocity as the wheel at the other end (the outside wheel). Now rotationally accelerating (applying torque to) a wheel that is up in the air is a piece of piss, you would need 1 Nm of torque to accelerate it at the rate that it will. If torque was split 50/50 between the inside and outside wheel, then the outside wheel would also be getting 1Nm of torque regardless of how paw-to-the-floor you are, which means that as soon as you lift a wheel in a locker, you will lose all acceleration. This is clearly...bullshit...the majority of the torque would be applied to the outside wheel which would get 90%ish or so depending on a million and one factors. There is simply no way to argue against this unless you completely disregard physics. Anyway, I know what you are saying in regards to the behaviour of a locker compared to an open diff...I was just hoping to point out the physical pedantics of the issue - it's simply a different nomenclature that I'm sure maybe one other person may be interested in knowing I'll drop the issue now! Back to frivolity - yipee!!! [Report message to a moderator]
