Another important factor is the weight of the wheels. The inertia of the wheels provides the counter force to cause the chassis to rotate around the axle (ie wheelie/BF) rather than the mass of the axle to rotate (relative to the ground.)

Obviously traction plays a factor too.

In my truggy I have a torsen as a CD, and when hitting full throttle, it's no problem to do backflips (with a fresh battery): the torsen locks and sends approx. 80% of the power to the rear axle (where the max. grip is).

OT:
like that, on the track you need a sensitive throttle, but have no longer annoying balooning of front wheels. an other problem w/ 100k is that steering is worse (I used to drive w. 100k before the torsen). when the torsen is unlocked, steering is better then w/100k oil. overall, driving is different with torsen.

I agree. With heavy diff fluid or locked center diff the steering is not as good. But in reality if he is looking for wheelies in a buggy then he isnt planning to race it so the steering will be fine for fields and parking lots.

The torsen is good option. Just an expensive option.
