    Not if you want extreme understeer and the wheel ripped out of your hand

    They behave like front wheel drive Viscous LSD Nissan Pulsars, with a trutrack in the front;especially with lots of Torque on tap and driven spiritedly.

    Of course, that may not be a bad thing....

    My Disco1 will do that every time with the road tyres on. I had mine sideways on a round about coming off the highway once. Absolutely crapped myself as it was very unexpected and felt like it was going to roll over.

    For the sake of scientific rigour, I went back to the same spot with everything unlocked and repeated. Heaps of wheel spin - obviously just one front wheel.

    So (as much as I hate to say it ) - it seems Matt (rovercare) is right.

    Go blow a football team you tool. I am getting p'd off by your pointless interjections.

    My first "car" was a series IIA, powered by a 2.25P then an (even slower) 2.25D.

    If I was a hoon/petrol head, I would have spent the first 10 years of my driving career driving something that had a hope in hell of breaking the speed limit.

    (this was followed by a (slightly faster) 3.9D NA...)

    It's not like I have to magically disable traction control.

    Nope, that's the thing with having 3 differentials, on power you'll spin the wheel with the least traction, not all 4, drift on the other hand
    So anyway - back on topic - if my 110 can chirp all 4 on bitumen when everything is locked, it could easily spin all 4 on loose gravel.

    However the fact that 1 wheel spins a lot when everything is unlocked, suggests that Matt would be correct.

    LOL! Jesus, I remember that. You were the only young bloke I knew who intentionally modified his car to make it even slower. Not to mention that "massive" accident you had while hooning around the back blocks a few years back. Possibly one of the slowest crashes on a main road in history

    What's the front/rear weight balance on your 110 Ben?

    My rangie is IIRC 1130 rear, 1170 front with half a tank.

    Unlocked it will spin up a front or rear wheel in third on uphill damp corners depending on how you take the corner.
    On gravel with CDL in it throws gravel from all four. How evenly I don't know, I don't have fr/rr difflocks or ways to monitor each wheels speed. But the tracks it leaves appear pretty even.

    It appears something is lost in translation if people think I'm doing locked 4 wheel uphill burnouts on tarmac.

    Care to repeat it without the arbs locked, but with CDL in Ben?
