Cool

Open differentials will allow all torque to go to the spinning wheel.

Limited slip differentials will limit this "slip" and ensure that at least a proportion of the torque doing through the differential is sent to the wheel that has some traction (the non spinning one).

The BAJA ? doesnt have LSD's at either end, so it can become stranded in conditions where one of the wheels on each end is spinning.
