Differentials
The diff housing has been totally re-designed to create method for evolution in diff technology. The diff now has cavities designed designed for shut mobile foam. This foam will compensate for expansion associated with the oil, which will allow us to fill the diffs more full, maintaining the gears fully engulfed in oil. The cavity where the gears rest has additionally been redesigned in order that there isn't low force zones outside of the gears. This can keep more oil on gears also when rotating at high rpms. As a result will keep the diff more constant at low and high speeds including hot or cool .
Differential gears 28 / 14 / 44
The hardmetal 28T and 14T satellite gears have a more substantial overall diameter, to cause them to become more in oil, making the diff more constant , smoother and stronger . The steel 44T ring gear is lighter and it has a fantastic match using the brand new 28T gear.
