ball diffs which way round

[zoaman]

i bought a used zx6 built and raced it yesterday. i think that the ball diff are in the wrong way. if u look from the front of the car the front diff spur gear was on the left and the same for the rear looking from behind was also to the left.yet in the manual there is something contradictive.one diagram clear states to put the front one spur to the right.yet the next page it says to put it to the left.but the manual also says front motor not diff so is this a typo on 2 accounts.

hi lee i think thats cleared a few things up. but why switch the diffs around? see u sunday

You only switch the diffs if you want to move the motor front or rear, if you move the motor and not the diffs on the start line you will go backwards lol
