The only way I can translate that is that they are not receiving significant or continuous torque.

this appears to be another way of describing the feel of the car towing you from the front while you're trying to push from the rear. It gives the car a very unsettling feel especially during high speed banks.
going RWD is definitely not going to give you "better" traction, but it sure does make the car more predictable, and in some cases, easier to recover from 'some' situations. the improvement in acceleration and lighter steering makes the conversion a worthwhile investment for me.
@ 65 dollars for half hour labor to remove the driveshaft, I must say it's the best bang for the buck for me so far.
** i plan to keep the front diff in should i experience the need to convert back to AWD when I can afford some magic dust from todd@protomotive.
