So, I've been contemplating how I'm going to go about my axles issues (what kind of axles, lockers, gear ratio I want) and a lot of the issues I'm concerned about with the front locker would be resolve with something I used when I was a kid and raced Remote control cars.
We'd have these pan-cars with 4WD that cornered incredibly well while under acceleration, but as soon as you'd let off the gas the drag of the electric motor would send the car skidding. The solution was to either put in a 1-way differential, or 1-way drive shafts off the differential. So the differential action only would happen while under drive, otherwise the wheels would spin freely as if not even connected to the drive shaft.
My father uses something similar on his tractor to prevent his brush hog from turning the wheels when he's trying to slow down.
Has anyone heard of this type of thing being used on a 4x4 before?
I'm not saying I really want to do this, Just wondering if it's ever been done.
