I'll try to clarify some stuff. In a halftrack, you have, lets say, to make it easy, a couple of tracks in the rear, that are about a foot wide, by about 4 feet long, or so, contacting the ground. If the ground was level/flat the natural tendency of the vehicle would be to go in a straight...

Yeah, I was being somewhat faceitious, in a halftrack, when you lose a track, all the torque/motive force being sent to the sprockets is lost, just like a 2 wheel drive car with one wheel on ice, (there ain't no Posi in the sprocket drive rear end). So, with only the torque to the front end...

You keep getting "torque bias" confused with "speed/rpm bias", and they are not the same thing. In a M1078/LMTV, when you're going down the road in "normal/highway" mode, the output torque of the trans is being sent 70% to the rear, and 30% to the front, but both drive shafts are turning the...

No, the air lockers do not disconnect the drive train, they serve to "lock" both of the wheels together by eliminating the differential action of the third menber. You're not going to re-invent the wheel, you need to use an old-fashioned transfer case, one that has 2 wheel/4 wheel...

In the "real" halftracks, you use the transfer case to disengage the front axle when you are on a hard surface, the front end is engaged only for sand/snow/ice/slippery conditions. There is no provisions for the two driveshafts to turn at diff speeds while the front end is engaged. The pitch...
