number
Argument values:
| argument 1: |
range is .2 to 30.0; most commonly 5

Description: How much effect the different gears have on the power transmitted to "wheels".
A low differential means the high gear is not much different than low gear.
A high differential means the high gears will be able to pull vehicle across only flatter ground.
See the Engine description for more details.
