How is the Yokomo Diff? does it work out of the box? Is it necessary to buy the b fast diff rings?
To be honest that are the topics I hate on my Durango: I tuned almost everything and it is still not perfect. I hope that the Yokomo performs out of the box and needs little maintenance |
If low traction dirt is where you spend most of your driving I would definitely go for the B-Max2.
It's easier to get "right" then the RB6, it's easy to drive and it works very well with the kit setup and right tires. Very similar to the AE B4.2 in terms of ease of handling.
The Yokomo diff works as well as AE's (which I have most experience tuning), but instead of grinding flat the included diff rings I buy the hardened and machined B-fast rings. If you also opt for the pro driver kit with ceramic thrust balls and carbide diff balls you will have a diff with almost no maintenance at all.
I usually tear the diff down, clean and re-grease once a month (with 3-4 sessions a week) when driving outside on loose dirt.
Clay and hard pack sees several months of use between maintenance.
Still haven't replaced a diff so far
Or you can opt for the gear diff (machined gears are due out this month).
Myself I find the Yokomo easy to wrench on (have built 3 now)
