Only in the magazines, never in person. I think they called them
"steering brakes" or something to that effect. They were intended
more to help you steer in the sand by braking on one rear tire at a
time than to compensate for a non-fully-locking diff. At least that
was my take on it. I never got into the sand dune stuff. I stuck
with mud/rocks/hills. :-)

Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
I think you're right about the "steering brakes" thing. It should work
pretty well transferring torque away from a spinning wheel, though. Hmmm.
I wonder why no one seems to be selling anything like this...

Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
Hitting the brake pedal works too well maybe?
I mean, they use them on VW's to help slide around a corner, not to lock
a spinning wheel.
With some practice, the brake pedal hit works great.

Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
I use the brake pedal trick from time to time, myself. I have, on occasion,
wished I could just stop the one wheel without applying brakes to the wheel
with traction, though. I would think it would be handy. I guess I'll keep
on using the "brake pedal" thing... :-)

wished I could just stop the one wheel without applying brakes to the wheel
with traction, though. I would think it would be handy. I guess I'll keep
on using the "brake pedal" thing... :-)

Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
I use the brake pedal trick from time to time, myself. I have, on occasion,
wished I could just stop the one wheel without applying brakes to the wheel
with traction, though. I would think it would be handy. I guess I'll keep
on using the "brake pedal" thing... :-)
