That means that if the Quaife has issues with too limited traction, the ediff will provide that by braking the spinning wheel. It should be a winning combination, and seems to work very well in your video.
Good point. One of my next tests will be with one wheel in the air to see what happens and I think you are right here. Because of the E-diff I will have a "Quaife+" that will also work with zero traction on one wheel
