I think toy drivers may notice a difference because the grease-lubed CVs produce more drag???

Sam - I hear rumours of a rear disconnect you have developed - any more info???
Yea - I posted some stuff on pirate. Sam Keck at Overkill Engineering can make them - he has made a couple for me plus some others for customers. Sam can basically make the whole conversion for a little bit more than I can get a shaft made. Links here - http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthre ... 6&posted=1
Really cool mod though cause its really simple in the end, works really and uses LT95 parts. I had been thinking of lots of differnet ways to do a rear disconnect over the last few years and this way finally came to me...told Sam Keck about it and, and presto, had it a week later.

At this point I think is really only suits buggies cause you lose the handbrake and also the speedo drive as well. Im sure If sombody was really keen you could put these bits back in but Im not sure if this sort of thing is really worthwile in a road/trail rig.

Initially I thought about putting this into the series 1 but Im thinking that staying full time is probably more worthwhile. Being able to unlock the centre diff while crawling the front end up vertical stuff is very, very useful. And then its simply a matter of just unlocking the centre and riding the handbrake to tighten turnes if necessary. You really dont get to do full on front digs but for a trail machine you probably dont need them.
