Thread: haultech ETC

Thanks. I tried to search but kept getting hits for their cv's

I'm running it in my buggy. It works best with LSDs (i have a Jac Mac toy conversion in rangie axles) It has its advantages over diff locks, and its dissadvantages.

Advantages
- if your in the mud/dirt, and one wheel slips, the brake locks it up pretty much instantly, which means you dont have a big hole under that 1 wheel.

you can go around corners easily without turning it off

its easily easily modified to have individual wheel brake locks

kit price (well under 2k last i checked)

softer on your cvs/diffs and axles than lockers

Looks cooler than lockers

Dissadvantages

Install cost if you arent handy with tools - you have to re-run all your brake lines.

Not as quick as lockers to engage (1 milliseccond compared to already locked) but that only applies to Hard core competition.

you will still brake axles/cvs if you thrash it.

You may need an engineers certificate

Not very common (but it hasn't really been heavily marketed)

I'd say go for it. I'd have it again if unimog diffs didn't have factory air lockers.

Ring Charles or Sam at Haultech for more info.
