Quick question about the diffs, whats the best solution to date? B3GB/mardave mod? Meteor diff halves on the Cobra diff gear? Ansmann diff built into cobra housing?

Any progress on stronger drivershafts? The mardave ones do look venerable!

Cheers

An update on mine, set too on it last week. Decided to go for a Losi22 gear box grafted on to the chassis. The losi22 come with rear & mid gearbox casings so I had the rear pair spare, got the gubbings for the middle and built that up.

Cut down the Cobra gear box to retain the original rear wishbone hangers and mountings, bolting the Losi22 box in-between them. The 22 box itself bolts to some bracing/battery holder which can only help hold it all in place. Got the normal carbon shock towers made by a friend. Just needed a small alloy brace to connect the rear shock tower to the top of the battery holder and we was up and running.

Had it out on the street the other night in damp conditions & fading light (Yea, it was dark!) pleased how it went, really fast and plenty of fun! Going to try it indoor on carpet this week. Cobra22 anyone!
