The diff itself... they are god-awful for popping with big tyres etc.

Next would be the auto hubs they mainly have.

Everything else seems fairly robust and reliable.

Was looking at using the short side "diff axle" and slotting two of them into a solid axle diff head so I could ditch the surf diff but.... :lol:

oh well if it was going to be that easy someone else would have done it by now :roll:

Spline count matches... surf axles are just to small

Hmmm will find away

Arrr the steering arms yea well... I've sorta been abit distracted :oops:

just about finished armor platting the paj just got a couple of things to do to it and I'll be back onto the lux and I'll finish the arms
If you are gona get the MU done a bit sooner I'll throw the face cutter back in and nock a set up

Cheers Reece

Nah, do what you need to do - I have the flipped arm to get it running on but I will keep hassling you periodically to get them done (I'll need special MUsurements of course

)
