Most of the things are quite obvious to me, but what is the reason for the rear hubs? Any theories?

good point
cant be to stop the clogging up issues as Durango have they're own alloy hubs.

may just be a test part, with an extra few degrees or something

Well, if it comes to toe setting TD has all the tools for all of the range that I think is useful. Clogging up, as you say, can't be it.

My personal theory is that these hubs allow the wheel axle to sit approx. 1mm further back, based on the amount of shims I think I see sitting in front of the hub, but it is hard to tell exactly from the photos.

Any takers?

Is the axle sitting closer to the hinge pin than the TD hubs?
I remember this being a performance mod for the XX year ago, hinge pin used to nearly pass between the rear hub bearings.

From memory, it stops the car swaying as much in quick direction changes on loose surfaces.... but I may be corrected on this.

How about the fact that he's using B4 driveshafts too ;)

He needs to get better at hiding other companies parts!!

OneKiwi 25-01-2013 12:49 PM

Thought he would do better than drawing on it with a sharpie marker!:thumbsup:

Reo 25-01-2013 12:52 PM

And he use yokomo rod ends! :) He trust them more than Durangos?!? He was a yokomo team driver before.

Driveshaft/hub chance will def change the driveshaft plunge. Perhaps he is trying to gain a little extra grip due to a difference in driveshaft bind. The alloy suspension mounts are even more interesting. This is purely speculation but I wonder if they are the rdrp lrc mounts. If this is the case it brings roll centre (and the rest of the rear geometry) to being identical to a b4.1. Food for thought though!!

I wonder how wide there rear is with those hubs?

The Alloy hangers are TD option parts which will soon be available.
The team have been testing them for a while to evaluate the performance gain...

Looks like the gearbox has two mounting positions for inner camber link also :thumbsup:

any results you'd care to share? or is it a case of still in testing so nothing concrete?

also is the carbon rear tower he's using an official TD part? or is that after market/3rd party?
