The Wavetrac differential uses a patent pending design to improve grip in low traction conditions. Precisely engineered, converging / diverging wave profiles are placed on one side gear and its mating preload hub. As the two side gears rotate relative to each other, each wave surface climbs the other, causing them to move apart. This imparts an increased normal force through the side gears, increasing the bias ratio as a function of load. This increase occurs automatically only when conditions find it necessary, and it 'reverts' back to its nominal bias ratio quickly and seamlessly, maintaining optimal drivability and performance at all times. It's like having two differentials in one: you get the benefit of a higher bias ratio when needed without detriment to the car's handling.

Interchangeable Friction Plates Provide Controlled Bias

Here's something else you won't find in any other design:

The Wavetrac diff's behavior can be altered in the field to suit your needs. It comes standard with carbon-fiber bias plates for the best all around performance. Interchangeable plates using materials with different friction coefficients to fine-tune the bias ratio are sold separately.

These friction plates provide a mechanism to tune the response of the differential as a function of applied torque load. The applied torque load manifests itself as an axial load from the differential pinions into the housing. This axial force is then considered a normal force into the friction plate, and as a function of the effective coefficient of friction, will provide a resistive torque to the rotational motion of the differential pinions. The resistive torque will add to the resistance of relative rotation of all components within the differential. The resistive force, however, is non-uniform since it is a function of the axial load from the differential pinions. The unbalance of the resistive torque will manifest as non-uniform energy absorption within the differential causing a bias ratio.

Designed from a clean sheet, the new Wavetrac® Differential brings current gear technology to the market. Internally, its gear tooth forms are optimized for strength and improved oil film retention over competitive designs. Our gear package is smaller, reducing overall mass, yet is more durable. Attention was also paid to the side gear/axle interface, putting as much material thickness as possible in this critical area - most important when power levels get high. Each Wavetrac® Differential is crafted from the highest quality materials available. The internal gears are made from high strength 9310 alloy steel. The diff bodies are machined from case hardened steel billet. To complete the package, every Wavetrac® differential is built exclusively using high quality, high strength fasteners from ARP®, the world leader in fastener technology.

Torque supplied ring gear bolts to 90ft. lbs

Favorite for dry climate
I live in a dry desert and these are the only moisturizing masks I see instant results. For best results after doing my evening skincare routine I apply the mask one hour before bed. I store them in the fridge so they feel cool and soft on my skin. Once you get the hang of applying them it’s very easy the second time. I sleep with them on and remove them in the morning and my skin is glowing, plump and pores appear smaller. The mask itself is a thick durable jelly not like the typical sheet masks. The price for this is worth it if you wear the mask minimum 2-5 hours once a week

Youth Serum?
You will not regret trying this! The results are amazing!!! 🤩 After the first use my skin looked healthier, brighter, more even toned and pores were diminished. I look young again. (I’m 57.) I have neglected my face for a few years after being the kind of girl who never left the house without makeup. I knew I needed some deep repair and thought a mask would help. Lo and behold, my beloved Amazon gave me Biodance! I just used my third mask last night and I’m still excited to peel it off the next morning. My face doesn’t look all dewy like the pictures and video but it’s definitely a huge improvement. I didn’t realize it was that dry. A couple tips-don’t worry when you first apply it if it’s not perfectly positioned. There is wiggle room and it will slide a bit. Handle carefully! It’s slimy & slippery. You can use the eyes and lips (cut outs) for other problem areas and you can tear off the nose as well. It feels cooling the moment you put it on. I had no irritation at all. I took the advice of one reviewer and sat on the couch with my head leaned back for about an hour before I went to bed to let it dry a little. Nice “ME” time. Thanks a zillion Amazon and Biodance! I vow to use a mask weekly from now until the end of time. ❤️

Cool Product
I love these masks. The are cool and white in color when you put them on and they turn clear when the stuff is absorbed. I was new to a mask that has to be on 3 hours or more, but it was cool. I had very little skin irritation and I have sensitive skin. They are very easy to put on and take off. They have a heavy cooling sensation when you first put them on because the are really wet, but it dissipated over time and was comfortable to sleep in. I use these masks twice a week. I will definitely keep using them. My skin feels softer and more firm in the morning. I just take off the mask and apply a little moisturizer with sunscreen and I'm good for the day.
