Without the rubber-band connection between the two power outputs, whenever the
model would go over a bump and one wheel was lifted off the ground, the other
wheel would not spin at all and all the power went to the other wheel.

Now, with the rubber-band limited slip differential, you can drive the model
with one of the wheels removed on each side.

You do notice that it does take a second or two for the rubber-bands to build
up enough torque to drive the other side, hence - limited slip.

PS. THe nice looking photos of the lego elements were cropped from originals found on the Technic Elements Registry: (URL) basically describe the key elements necessary to complete the model. (...) (28 years ago, 9-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
