Durango Gear Diffs in TRF502X

[Holeshot]

Not sure if it has been posted up here somewhere but someone posted up a how to install Durango Gear Diffs in the 502X on the TRF Forum - http://www.teamtrf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=145&start=0

Now this looks interesting, don't know how practical it'll be but interesting none the less. Thanks for posting this and has anyone on here tried this. If so was it easy or hard to do and did it work ok? Sorry for all the questions but i thought the 502X was coming with gear diffs. Do they offer a performance advantage over what's in the car already?

Geared diffs only offer more tuning options in the way of oil thickness, but the main reason people run them is because they are maintenance free.

Once i got some spare casings i might try it, but i think getting hold of shafts to fit will be difficult, even the guy who wrote the "how to" doesn't know where to get them, and hes done the conversion.

Jamie if you do try it keep me informed of your progress m8, I find the maintenance free bit intriguing.
Thanx again

Hi!

Please have a look here - a guy from Japan solved the shaft issue that way:
