Detroit true track

(1/6) > >>

lambert:
Anyone used them? Are they any more effective than a normal slip diff?

UKJeeper:
Yes i have, and yes they are. I had one in my front axle with a Detroit in the back. Worked very well.

Eeyore:
Good question, but lets reprase it a mo. Technically the company is Tractech
The Detroit is the autolocker
The Tru-trac is the limited slip jobby

I know is sounds pedantic, but the two units do a very different job - which depending on what you're wanting to do will change which one you may want. Clarifying it at the start also means that we'll know which unit subsequent answers refer too!  :lol:

Anyhoo, to kick off Henry Webster has a Tru-trac in the back of his racer and loves it (so much so that Wolife wants one in the back of his!)
If memory serves, Trasher has had expereince of the Detroit.

I'd e-mail matt@rangie.com for some insight, I've got one of his units that locked up and wouldn't unlock under the bench....But yes they do work well.

lambert:
As it stands my rear diff is standard friction type and it is not bad except in real bad twisters. The front is open.
 
I do all sorts of terrain from lanes to tree infested swamp.
 
What i've seen is a slip diff that works on worm gears? And locks tighter than a friction? :?
 
What i'm wanting is to put one of these into each end.
 
I prefer slippers to air lockers as it's one less thing to forget to do in time to avoid getting stuck. :wink:
