how well does this work? video?

[NekoR]

Works good. The force of sliding depends on the power of the spring.

[MangaNOID]

Nice! I really like it. Have you any recommended spring size/rate etc?

[NekoR]

In my example , the spring :

diameter -  7,4mm

length  - 12mm

The diameter of the wire  - 0,65mm

step  - 1,8mm

A limited slip diff is open by default and closes when slipping occurs. This one is closed by default, that is, the friction between bevel gears and diff housing is allways present and is not initiated by slip. This is not an LSD imo. I ever made the same mistake btw.

You could have obtained the same effect without modifying parts with a linear clutch outside the diff:

Didumos69, I agree with you. It's not really LSD.

But your version of the differential is very large. It can not be used on a compact model. You can not adjust the sliding force.

Yeah, this is more of a locked differential that has a safety slip than a LSD.
