haha That axle weighs about as much as the vehicle I was planning to make. I am shocked that little table holds it up. That would make it pretty durable/reliable, though. heh

Wallace Idaho.. how funny! My mom was born and raised in Wallace Idaho.. funny coincidence. You are the Google master JoeT. Thanks so much. This one uses internal brakes, too, it appears. To protect the axles it looks like it applies the pressure on some massive drums. Pretty crazy!

Cool Tacoma.. Thanks very much. Do those work the same way as CruiserOutfit was explaining? They lockup one side sending all the power to the other side? I wonder if they make them with clutches, too?

That sounds really cool, CruiserOutfit. I love those FJ's. I've been meaning to reasearch those. If they use that system on factory setups it must be reliable. Probably just have to set it up to give before it damages the driveline components.

Thanks Milner. Probably more of a hassle than it's worth. I was mainly just curious of anything like that existed that I wasn't aware of. I tried to find info on the Snocats but can't find much info online. Thanks for everyone's responses!

Good call, JoeT, I will check that out. Seems like it would work that way

I was thinking of something similar to this.. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential4.htm But instead of just working like a normal differential it would allow you to choose the wheel to power. But I don't know if these little clutches would be strong enough to work well enough for...

I was thinking a slectable thing where you could choose one side or the other or both - locked. Say with a push button or lever system.

Hi Milner. Yeah.. that's what I was thinking of.. just like a cutting brake but inside the differential. I heard cutting brakes can damage your axle and driveline components. I was wondering if anyone has heard of something that allows you to do that internally.. like with clutches in the...

Has anyone ever seen a differential that allows you to apply power to the wheel you choose, only one wheel if desired, and allows the other wheel to spin freely?
