The Durango uses a gear diff. AE has one in their SC10, and the team drivers routinely take it out and put a ball diff in. AE tried the gear diff for what they were calling the B5 and abandoned it after much money, time, and effort, instead bringing out the B4.1. There must be a reason.
We will make as many parts on the X - 7 as possible. It will not be a Conversion Kit. As with the X - 6 Squared Entire Car, you will get everything except electronics, wheels & tires, and lubricants. The parts we do not produce in-house (or have made by subcontractors) will be purchased here in the U.S. Thus not Durango, and, since we have an existing supply source, probably AE. That maintains compatibility with our current cars. Thus, AE ball diff. Only question is which outdrives?
Darren posted above that we continue to make more and more parts ourselves, including parts that fit our cars and other cars too. Will we make the outdrives in the X - 7? Depends on pricing. We'll not make the Kit cost more just to make our own outdrives, or anything else for that matter.
For those with (or without) difficulty finding U.S. hardware, we make the Box 'O Bolts, which will likely end forever your search for the right fastener. A total of 156 fasteners in every style and common size all in one compartmentalized little box. Priced attractively and very cool indeed.
