I used the centre diff from the truck with the truck motor mount. I had to cut it down, tap holes, drill the chassis etc.
I had to change driveshafts around so I can't say what I'm using now as I don't remember - but the NEW rear centre is shorter than the old one - so I might have used that.

I made a brace like the original and cut the side pods AND bulkhead so the cells would sit side by side b44 style right against the rear bulkhead. My brace was hand made and too weak. Not had chance to do anything since with it.

As I said - I did this 2 years ago or there abouts, it seems that after racing at the EUROS with a B44 pack layout and lots of changes - with room for a centre diff, TD had the perfect chance to out-do the others. Slipper as standard, centre diff as option - everyone is a winner.

Everyone knows when JQ gets the time - his 10th car will have 3 diffs. I think he won some Scandinavian title with a car he nailed together with three diffs back around 2010 or so? I stand to be corrected but his Finnish friends told me all about his car at the 2010 Euros.

Just saying - missed op and I can't believe no one has made one yet (well, you have now hehe.) I did point TD to look that way when I worked there since I made it when I worked there.
