On another forum the designer has said with a centre diff you dont need a slipper clutch- this is simply wrong and poor engineering. They fulfill totally different functions. Still, its better than nothing and in many other respects this looks like a very impressive buggy  |
I think what he is saying is buy more complete center diffs and build with multiple weights.. Seems like a lot of work, unless they have a quick change mount like the Durango. I find these days a slipper in a 4wd buggy, is getting harder to keep consistent on the track with so much power being put down.. They need to improve on the materials used for pads..
