Can someone explain exactly how a "torque split" works for a 4WD car.

I'm changing the "50/50" scoob for a car with a 60% rear and 40% front split, but can't get it clear in my tiny mind how this actually works. I keep getting tied up with silly images of wheels trying to go around faster at the rear than the front.... which is obviously extremely silly.

From what I can gather most 4WD cars can apportion all of the torque to either axle if need be...

do NOT under any circumstances open this topic up again it starts a lot of arguments.
but scoobys are 60/40 split anyway.


oh god that's done it wait for the "no their nots"

Whooops - I'll get my coat.... and head for "search"
