Atlas vs Teralow

[XJcrazy00]

I've asked around on JF but no one ever answers me. What is a twin stick? I'd imagine you get two sticks coming from the tcase instead of one but what does the other do, and why is it so much better?

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

its so you can detach the front or rear axle at will and put one in hi and the other in lo if need be

[XJcrazy00]

That is much simplier than I thought lol, but that's pretty cool.

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

and put one in hi and the other in lo if need by

Pretty sure thats not 100% accurate

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

Yup it's not too hitech but it is very helpful

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

Pretty sure thats not 100% accurate

you can ask custom creations justin, he used it in the comps in class 2 cuz it wasn't technically a dig

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

seriously?

sounds like a good way to fuck up your drivetrain if you ask me.

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

It can be done tho

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

I knew it could be, just didnt think anyone would is all

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

So then how would my statement not be 100% accurate? it CAN be done

in a low traction situation it would be fine, as long as the tires can slip.

and he pwns class 2 for what its worth.

i thought something was "odd" when i first saw it happen, but it didn't click what was going on until someone told me

[HitItWithSomeSpeed]

Remember, this is me, I couldnt run this.

i was breaking 35 shafts by looking at them haha. I dont think id take a chance at a hi/low twinstick manuver unless i was in a comp.

and Geoff, I didnt say it couldnt be done, I just thought no one did it. most people who twinstick cases put in lockouts so hi and low cant be run at the same time. never seen anyone do this intentionally.

but hey, you learn something new everyday.

[Saharicon]

he wasnt doing these "digs" with cutting breaks??

[Ktmracer419]

im sure he will chime in again

but when the back is in low range and front in high, the front end will pull the direction you are turning faster than the rear tires can catch up

even if he had cutting brakes he couldnt do this with them on, seeing all 4's were spinnin'

[XJcrazy00]

So if that is an uncommon practice with the twin stick, what is the real function?
