Are they interchangable? Can you fit a four bolt box to a RRC with a 3 bolt box?

The Scorpion kit seems to have good down travel but appears to really limit uptravel.

Most people will agree that balanced wheel travel, ie: similar travel up and down and back and front of vehicle is the best set up.

Replies: 17
Views: 1664

If you use the Rover Tracks Toy conversion you will need to use the hubs and stub axles off the Disco 24 spline. They are shorter then the 10 spline.

We did our conversion using 10 spline diff housings and had to buy hubs and stub axles.
