First Torsen Demo video in the wild

[Bannerman]

Honestly kind of hard to tell what’s going on, but seems very impressive climbing what seems to be a very icy hill.

Thanks for sharing. I'm a total layman in regards to how a front diff works. In the video, I can't really tell any difference between the different times he tries to make it up the hill. Is someone able to explain to me what I'm looking for that would indicate the Torsen is doing it's job?

At around 2:00 when he's stopped on the hill and he tries to go you see both front wheel turning together. Normally that wouldn't happen. Only one would turn and it would most likely would be slipping. The Torsen locked the two front wheel together together so they both turn.

Thank you!

No problem. IMO for $500 its a must have option.
