Front:Rear drive ratio

[Piers1989]

Does anyone know what the rear bias is on a legnum VR4. Im pretty sure (from some fun spinnies on grass with TCL off) its a significant rear bias but I couldnt find anything stating what % of the power goes to the front and back.

I've seen a dyno run where they showed front and rear seperately. The run started off fairly even, at close to 50/50 but as the revs went up the lines seperated and it ended up being more like 40/60

Exactly what Brad said. As the drivetrain loads up it seems to bias towards the rear. Probably explains why they feel a little tail-happy in the way they handle.

Thanks Nevvy and K!

Look at the bottom of this page under "AWD - all-wheel drive type 1 (http://www.carbibles.com/transmission_bible_pg2.html)". That looks like what we have with our viscous coupling in the transfer case, no?

Does that not suggests the amount of power sent rearward just depends on how much traction your front wheels have relative to the rear.

Yep, front diff and viscous coupling are both in the transfer case.
