I need to correct this, the wheel slipped then locked in the other one, but isnt that what a ls does.</end quote></div>

Limited slip gives the slipping tire traction, thus stopping the tire that is getting the traction. The Visco system is just the opposite, it gives even more traction to the tire that already has traction at the same time as stopping the other from spinning.

Actualy No a LSD needs to have partial traction on both wheels thus allowing for more engine torque to be tranfered to the wheel with the most traction, Simaler design to Viso lock but not the same as Visco lock useses the Spinning wheel to build Hydolic pressure locking the front axles together thus getting traction till the spinning wheel regains traction. Most amature racers and pickups use LSD systems in there race cars and trucks and it works better in those circumstances.

Don't the high dollar racers use a Visco lok system in their all wheel drive super cars?

 

just put a locker on the damn thing lol

No a Spool (Pernament Lock). Not good on the streets! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

If a wheel is spinning, how can traction be put to it, seems if its spinning it is already engaged.

 

Your not you are locking the axles together so that there is no spin getting the power to the axle that has traction therfore moving you forward. There are just diff ways of accomplishing this but they all end up doing the same thing it just depends on which works better for you application.

 

Limited slip differential (a.k.a. positraction) send the torque to the NON-SLIPPING wheel. Why would you send more power to a wheel that doesn't have traction to begin with? If you don't believe it, Google is your friend. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

its pretty much personal preferance. i for one cant stand visco lok.



ill say go with Kawi. it isnt as powerful but you'll thank yourself when your still riding it 5 years later. lol</end quote></div>

hmmm..... i have had my ol650 for almost 3 years now, with 4000 miles and put it in most every kind of terrain you can think of and only had rear u joints go bad.....i would like to know where your basing your information from!!!!
