Meaning when you let off the throttle, the quaife, and os giken behave like an open diff. Also the quaife, and OS giken can only transfer power to the non slipping wheel if there is at least some traction in the slipping wheel. If there is no traction at all, such as in ice, or if that wheel is lifted off the ground, they will both behave like open diffs. Functionally speaking, wavetrac is by far superior to the rest.
All you have to do is tap on the brake to re-engage the Quaife...If your wheel is spinning simply apply a little pressure to the brakes. This will load up the wheel and put more power to the grounded wheel.
