Not quite. The device that you have provided the link to is the kit of parts that will enable you to put the Team-C geared diff into the variants of the TC02 that have the motor behind the rear axle. There is no equivalent for the TC02C, the version with the motor in front of the axle. And that's what this is.

I think that the type of diff used is a matter of driver preference although there appears to me to be a leaning towards the geared diff on medium to high grip surfaces.

I'm not good enough at driving the darn things to be able to say anything else but I noticed that there was a reasonable outcry for the gear diff to be made available for the mid-motor car and so I set about making one.

I'm hoping that my customers will prove its worth because I certainly don't have the thumbs, eye-sight or reactions to do it.

Certainly, the geared diff is faff to adjust but once you have it set, ie the right oil in it, it is very reliable.

And my gearbox is much prettier!
