Default Gear Diff - for the SD / SSG

All,

Dont suppose anyone know if there is one or one that can be modified to fit in an SSG?

Regards
Gareth

Almost certainly not.

But to be honest if you're running a motor hot enough to need a gear diff, you shouldn't be running shaft drive because of the amount of torque steer.

With a mild motor, a gear diff offers no benefit.

The Yokomo BD diff is the same as the SD diff except for the pulley; you see these come up on ebay fairly regularly. Stay clear of the alloy ones though as they wear out quickly, stick to the standard plastic outdrives (thats what I run on my BD and they work great).

hi Gareth,

Demon have a few of the bits you will need if you want a new diff. Just type 'yokomo SD' in the search and you will find all they have - quite a lot is out of stock, but there are still a few good bits left!

I think the layout and balance of a shaft drive with LiPo and brushless is perfect - good luck!
