I had 2 torsens Front and Center. But after front one ring gear broke I am back to all 3 open. Plettenberg picture was taken with 2 torsen diffs installed.

When it was working it was great on sand dunes, but hard on ESC.

Accually brian. by looking at the pic. It works off of friction.
If the diff has no pressure on one side it will accually unload.
So it won't wheelie or shouldn't. If you have a diff like that in a full size.
You have to ride the brake a little if one tire gets off ground to get the locked
feel and go. Different angle of the teeth on gears make it lock on more or less pressure.

Yes, torsens only transfer torque with the ratio preset inside differential, but if there is no torque (resistance) on spinning side then there will be no torque on opposite side either (0*X=0).

That is why true lockers (like ARB in Full size world) are preffered for rock crawling and serious mud :)

I liked the detriot locker. I ran that in rear with a true trac front. It was
designed like the torsen. It worked great together.

Thanks for setting me straight CHC and Griffin. I was under the impression it sent all power to the loaded side, but apparently it is "some", bit not all torque...
