Always trying to stay a step ahead with my research http://s-seriesforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif
Does anyone have any experience with powertrax Lock Right lockers for AutoX or road course applications?
I see they would be fine for normal driving, and work excellent for drag racing, but I WILL be on a road course, and would kinda like to give AutoX a try again.
The ~$300 price is a definite plus, and lots of the reviews that I see are favorable (longevity, quietness <not "quiet", but neither is my truck http://s-seriesforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif>, etc)... but have difficulty finding anything relating to corners.
I found a few mentions of people who WISHED they had, or planned to go with the powertrax, but no one with experience.
I'm afraid I'd either have to stay out of the gas on corners, or would immediatly be thrown into doughnuts if i did get on it. I THINK it would still be locked upon deceleration because of the forces, but not sure about that either.
The one time I have been on a track (in a 350z), I was driving VERY aggressive, and basically let the rear kind slip around as I came in hot.... the ABS was kicking in off and on as I LIGHTLY applied brakes. I was also being pretty heavy on the gas on the exit causing either some wheel spin, or the rear to step out ~1ft. I'm afraid the "locked" or "not locked" action would end up throwing me for a loop... literally.
I EXPECT the truck to be difficult to drive (no power steering, no ABS, Auto,...), but don't want to get a rear diff that'll make it no fun and frustrating.
