Split Shaft
Powertrain device that splits rotational power into two output paths. Used for driving two systems from a single input, such as front and rear axles from a transfer case.
Powertrain device that splits rotational power into two output paths without differential action (equal speed, split torque). Used for driving two systems from a single input, such as a rigid coupling between front and rear axles.
Inherited Methods

Shaft
Simple rotational connection between powertrain components. Transmits torque and speed with configurable friction and inertia. Used for driveshafts, half-shafts, and axles.
Supercharger
Engine-driven forced induction compressor that provides boost pressure proportional to engine RPM. Delivers linear, predictable power gains without turbo lag.
