If you get stuck, mostly it will be because some of your wheels have to rise and there is not enough grip for that. Going down is obviously much easier. But if you're going up most off the weight off your car is going to the rear. So that is where you need the locker. In my challenge truck I need the rear locker very frequently. The front only now and then. If I found out the front locker was broken it would be a pitty, if the rear was broken I would try everything I could to repair it before the start... Paul

Mainly rear.

Even the diffs pegged and installed by Ashcroft himself can break after two 12 days driving, that is two european competitions. And I do realise, even during competition, that diffs can break up, so drive accordingly. However, in a competition the idea is to go as fast as you can. I just hoped there was someone out there who had first hand experience to tell if crown ring and pinions would be any stronger. I think it's not so much the bhp but the torque in situations with on and off grip, going with some speed up a steep hill. If the roadbook sends you there, you just try to go up, and hope that nothing is breaking down. Jan

Hello, Does anybody has an idea if the Crown diff strengthened ring and pinion are any better than ashcroft's. I have pegged ashcroft 4.11 diffs but they still fail after a using them for more then a few events. I'm curious.... Jan
