hmm, I didn't see any centre diff. I wonder how it goes on hard surfaces / street, surely that would bind unless its purely devoted for the dirt.

Read the thread Chris. It mentions that they were running a homemade decoupler.

Cool idea. I've often thought about double diffing a bug. Had a mate who made twin diff Mokes using suzuki running gear. I'm trying to get a couple of old pans from a local here, might be an engineering project to work with some of the local TAFE kids.

Wow. :tu:
Always wondered if someone would have the time and patience to do that kinda thing :lol:
