Default Geared Diff in Lupuz/TC02C

Hi,

My first post!

I have just completed and run the prototype of my aluminium gearbox to enable the Team-C geared diff to be used in the Lupuz/TC02C and anything else that uses the original gearbox from the Lupuz.

Would anyone else be interested? My current plan is to make a small batch and get one on ebay asap.

I shall try to attach a picture but as I have said, this is my first post on this forum so anything might happen.

Price is a good question.

If I logged all the hours spent on the prototype it would be about £30,000 but, as with all things, it is worth what you can get for it.

I notice that a Schumacher aluminium gearbox retails for about £65 so my plan was to put is on ebay with a starting price of £50 and see where it went.

The rear T-Plate has to be modified and the price would include the supply of a modified part plus gear casing and fasteners. Because the T-Plate has to be machined away where the gearbox sits, I have extended the gear casing forward to provide two additional fixing points, ahead of the thick rib that locates the pivots for the rear wishbones. It's a very stiff assembly.

For a limited period, anyone who contacts me via a PM on this forum (if you have them) and subsequently sends me a T-Plate for modification, can have one at the starting price of £50. Orders would be taken in strict rotation.

Personally, I think that you should buy them just to put in a glass case and look at them! But I'm biased. And they do let you put the beautiful Team-C geared diff in your car.

I suspect, but I'm still measuring one up, that the Durango diff would also fit.

It would be of assistance to me if someone could please give me a definitive list of all the Team-C cars that this gearbox is used on.

Thanks Lee,

The next one will be even prettier and a tad lighter too.

It's spoken for but I have material for two more at the minute.


Is there a truck or SC variant?

Sorry Kusal,

I missed your question regarding shipping earlier.

Shipping to Belgium would be an additional cost in the order of £10 to £12 for a two day service.

I originally stated that I would require the T-Plate to be sent to me for modification but I see that DMS have them in stock at £4 so that is another additional cost if you don't have a spare T-Plate and want to keep racing whilst I'm machining.

Cheers

Clive
