If the top shaft is locked it would mean all four wheels could slip whereas the clutch basket would send power to the wheels with traction. However if the power is evenly distributed to all four wheels all the time it may be better.
Suggestions? Also, what kind of tire should I run for those conditions?
Could just be my ignorance, but I would think that the slipper would end up giving power to the wheels that do not have traction since those wheels are spinning free, then ones with traction would require more torque to turn thus causing more slip.
