Any body have any insight on how the Smart-trak awd system works?

Any idea on an awd/4wd controller?

Well, my idea is very similar to what is used on awd vehicles such as the nissan skyline,mitsubishi evo,and wrx impreza sti.....

All of which have variable differntial controllers....

I have personally seen a drag r32 Nissan skyline with an awd controller installed...

While in the water box the driver engaged the controller actively disengaging
the awd system and making the car rwd....

Yes I know...it did a nasty brake-stand.....
He then launched it out the hole as awd.....and partway thru he enabled rwd...

How do I know?...well at 90+ mph the car spit out sideways.....(not an atessa awd trait)
That an I also saw the in cabin video of the controller....

firstly these are trailblazers not supercars, secondly the vehicle by default is usually in RWD until it senses a slip then sends torque to the front, its basically like having permanent A4WD
