Is this a good reliable driveline??

Post by dow50r »

Guys
Im looking at a 73 rangie rover with 3.5 v8 (twin su's), and 1990-1994 viscous coupling 5 speed and 1985 model diffs.... is this all good gear to have in the driveline, or will i still be breaking things????

wat size tyres??? lockers???

the viscous transfer isnt the best reccomendation for offroad as it doesnt have a solid centre difflock (hence the viscous wording)

All rangie diffs are weak and dont be suprised if they break.

viscus crap.


if its cheaps its good

drive line fit maxis or jac mac locker and axles all will be good.

if it is for a toy the viscus will let you down.

Thought it might be a good thing viscous and torque on demand to axle with traction....but maybe not...hey :)
