Holy bejesus! They made it shaft drive again! I might actually get one. Belt drive is just junk in my opinion.
I was checking out the chassis on the Team Associated website and noticed something on the front and rear "A" arms. Look at the close up photos and you can see something on the hinge pin on one side front and rear. I've marked the places I'm referring to in green and red. It looks like a splined spacer, almost like a pinion gear, but why on one side only?
Couldn't tell ya, but as per the shaft drive setup that is the only way to go when it comes to offroad, belts just don't last. The last thing there lacking would be some kind of center diff since the locked center doesn't bias power front and rear it makes for a rear happy truck.
It says there is a slipper differential. A oil filled differential would be better though if that is what you meant.
That is what I mean, A slipper only manages power output from the engine, a differential splits and transfers power front to back.
