havnt looked at it yet but a front diff has to be the starting point ! the crown wheel/gear has to be the same as the rear or it would cause wind up ? so thats a good starting point also the diff cups/cases appear to be the same at first glance ?? i will start by removing and comparing both , and go from there

fitted some stiffer foams in the tyres today not tried them yet but feels like what i wanted of them , and changed the 14x3t trinity GT 1 to a team orion marc reinhard worlds edition 12x2t for a bit more punch now the tyres are stiffer on the wall roll

Hey Big- Where did you get the rims? Are those the Chinese aluminum ones on eBay?? I've thought about a set if my Axials ever snap. Glad the cage bob worked out! I'm considering doing the bob since I never run with the spare on.

ye you got it mate , they are better than you think ! the only problem i had with them were the beadlock hex bolts were very poor fit for the driver so i changed them out for the ones off the hammers wheels , the locks are perfect fit for the flat irons and i think they only cost £27 all in !! thanks for convincing me to go for the bobtail pockets ! im sooooo glad i did , unlocking the rear next and running with million oil !! thanks greatly for your time and input it means a lot

Totally forgot you did those hubs before. That 50mm must make it handle fairly flat.
