LSD Gearbox

[arjperera]

What is this exactly? Does the gearbox come with an LSD? or does it mean something else?

[Sexc86]

All gears boxs com with a Diff, however not all of them are a LSD (limited Slip Diff). Basically normal diff only spins one wheel, where as a LSD in sense locks them together and controlls both, but brakes them apart individually when they are traveling at different speeds (going around a corner where inside wheel is traveling slower then the outside wheel)

[krogoth]

normal diff does not only spin one wheel

it spins both wheels in all except extreme circumstances

this is the draw back of a non LSD gear box, it cannot sense this extreme circumstance that allows all the power to be transferred to one wheel

With LSD, it stops this fatal mechanical situation, and tryies to maintain a relative power balance at all times

BUT it doesnt mean an NON LSD gearbox only powers one wheel

lol

besides im sure this is a re-post, search next time
