You are driving on a track, and in a corner, the inner wheel hits a curb and momentarily lightens. This is normal in track driving. The problem is that during that brief moment, the other wheel doesn't receive power – engine power is not transferred to the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1174\"\u003eGeared differentials require load on both axles to function. Therefore, in a situation where one wheel lightens, power to the other wheel is momentarily cut. The result is that on the track or during aggressive driving, power is only intermittently transferred to the gripping wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1560\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1213\"\u003eWith Wavetrac, the situation is different.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its patented cam mechanism prevents loss of drive, even if one wheel lightens. The mechanism can create the necessary load inside the differential to compensate for lost traction, allowing power to be directed to the gripping wheel. The result is smoother power transfer in corners, more predictable handling, and overall a faster car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"19edy3x\" data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003eOther benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"2331\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"199mq2j\" data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1892\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1892\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1648\"\u003ePatented carbon fiber Bias Plate for satellite gears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1651\"\u003eIn most geared differentials, the satellite gears rotate directly against the casing, causing friction to change over time and reducing the differential's effectiveness. Wavetrac's carbon fiber plates maintain consistent performance throughout their lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"128tts6\" data-start=\"1894\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1896\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1896\" data-end=\"1932\"\u003ePatented Wave Profile design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"1935\"\u003eEliminates traction problems occurring at near zero load, which are found in other ATB-type differentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ttf0im\" data-start=\"2056\" data-end=\"2142\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2058\" data-end=\"2142\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2058\" data-end=\"2085\"\u003eARP bolts throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2085\" data-end=\"2088\"\u003eExcellent strength and reliability for demanding use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"srn0uw\" data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2282\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2282\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2191\"\u003e9310 steel gears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2191\" data-end=\"2194\"\u003eInstalled in a machined or forged steel case for maximum durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1nw0raa\" data-start=\"2284\" data-end=\"2331\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2286\" data-end=\"2331\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2286\" data-end=\"2331\"\u003eDesigned and manufactured in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1r9vgj0\" data-start=\"2333\" data-end=\"2362\"\u003eWavetrac – Smooth is Fast\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2364\" data-end=\"2573\"\u003eWavetrac is an excellent choice for powerful street cars that are also used on the track.
