Nice Rob Smile

So have anyone tried the JimK's LSD (Hmm.. that did sound kind of strange..) on winter roads ?

Quote from Rob

"I have seen JimK's LSD up close and personal and it is a simple device. It consists of four aluminum blocks and four springs. The
aluminum blocks are pressed up against the two spyder gears which are "connected" to the axles and makes them turn in unison when
you go straight. When you go around a corner the force on the spur gear on the outside of the turn is greater than the spring force
and it turns faster. There isn't anything to "engage" and make it go straight ahead in a turn."

However Rob what makes the LSD engage ? one tire going faster than the other, right ?
So what happend when you make a turn ? one tire is going faster than the other..
In my mind the LSD do not know if you are making a turn or not, I could of course be wrong Smile
