The document discusses different types of spool differentials for vehicles. A spool differential locks both left and right wheels to rotate at the same speed. It replaces the differential gears to eliminate differences in wheel speeds. A mini spool is designed to replace the side gears and spider gears in an existing open differential, locking both axles so they provide equal torque and traction but can be hard on axles during tight turns.

The spool is essentially a solid axle connection between
the left and right wheels, or a fixed differential. Some people weld their differential fixed, for instance to allow easier drifting. A spool ensures both left and right tires rotate at exactly the same speed
The axles are installed inside the snout of the spool, and
the ring gear is bolted directly to the large-diameter flange. This set-up eliminates the differential side gears and causes the rear axles to act as if they are welded together, so that each axle turns at the same speed under any driving circumstance MINI SPOOL. Because they have no moving parts, spools can handle more torque than a conventional differential, and are much lighter. They can also enhance the longevity of your ring and pinion because they provide a more rigid platform for the mounting of the ring gear. Mini spools are designed to be installed in an existing open differential and are used to replace the side gears and spider gears. They also lock both axles in place so that they both put power to the ground with equal torque and traction. Many weekend racers use mini spools as a lower-cost alternative to a full spool. The mini spool replaces those and locks the two azles together. You can also weld the gears together but thats even more dangerious. I've had a mini spool before and it's hard on the azles in tight turns, their mainly made for going straight but you can drive them on the street
