Re: Diff Strength

Actually they are marginally stronger due to a redesigned planetary gear pin in the hemisphere. They removed a stress raiser, so the pin doesnt usually break, the planetary gear now gets destroyed instead.

Re: Turbo 700 in rockcrawling

Actually i think with twin cases it'd be fine. The torque will be substantially less due to the cases, and it's going behind the same motor that it was designed for, in a vehicle lighter or at least similar weight than it was designed for. Slightly OT, but I'm hoping somebody can educate me. I've ...

I would have thought no damage. Just rebuild the distributor, tune it and go driving again.

If its the camshaft it'd probably be as the post above and easier to get another motor.

They bring the ride height up a fair bit which increases weight, loading, stability and wind resistance problems

Depending on how much tip angle you want, we've done a few that hinge on the end of the drawbar, and that makes the axle become the pivot.

Re: Rover/toyo diff swap

Remember that you're running Rover gearboxs. I think 4.11 returns 33's to standard gearing, 4.3 is 35's and 37's may be 4.5 or something. I've seen 49% transfer break absolutely everything between it and the wheel with the exception of a Salisbury diff. Rover, Maxi whatever.
