1:8 OR diffs are more like real car diffs right?
OK, let's get down to business! Can anyone check if the Serpent gear diffs will fit in any buggy on the market? Maybe with some modifications?
Part numbers? Webshop?
I'd be glad to get rid of my balls... 
Imagine having several sets of complete diffs, with different hardnesses... and no fuss!  Me want!
Has center diffs ever been uses in 1:10 OR?
I'd also like to know how a center one-way is like to drive compared to a front one-way, is it like something inbetween a front diff and a front one-way?
And I'd still really really like to know the physical explanation behind the ball diff! Understandig a gear diff seems quite straightforward. |
your pic shows a centre diff not a front or rear diff
most car diffs (1:1) have sun plannet gears which are bevel gears as in the pic, spider gears i believe are just multiple bevel gears
for starters the serpent diffs are belt drive only, so that limits most id say closest would be a tamiya as tamiya diffs can fit in the s400
