eh?

No. it was a centre gear diff. I held it and played with it, and spoke to Shin about it. It was prototype 3d printed parts, with regular gear diff innards, and a 2wd gear diff casing machined down some to fit. Spur was attached with screws. fitted perfectly in the slipper space. There were four, Lee, Marc, Tom and Shin had a spare.
If the new car is belt drive, I doubt we'll see this part in production, however.
Was meant to make the car easier and more consistent to drive.

I'm expecting the new car or a pre-production prototype to début at the Nurburgring EOS next month, in prep for the Worlds.
