Gents and lady,

Check this video out explaining how a differential works:

Let me guess, you have never built a RC car or LEGO technic kits in your life.

Wow, I've got a 21 yr old RC 10 up in my attic.

Speaking of differentials, I'm researching buying a new BMW 5 series through their Military Sales Program, but it seems that the limited diff is only available with the M sport package, a $6k option... Thats total BS for a car that puts out that much hp.

What in the Sam hill was that about. I've got LSD on
My sports package as long as it works I'm alright

Very interesting video. I like the simple things in life. I'm getting a OS Giken LSD installed in two weeks. I can't wait for it. Alot better than the VLSD crap. Even though it's good enough for most.

Good video. I like it when stuff like this pops up. It really breaks it down "Barney" style.

I found it very helpful that it was in black and white and used the 'old style' narration voice. I find it impossible to learn with color and contemporary language.

Haha, that sounds like a lot of women I know: "I don't know how the engine/transmission/brakes/etc. works, but as long as they do, I'm good."
