All-new 2023

Diff Bulkheads.

All-new front & rear bulkheads feature a semi-split design for easy diff access while adding the valuable new diff height adjustment. The new bulkhead also aligns the front central driveshaft with a reduced operating angle for less friction and reduced wear on the CV joint components and improved driveline efficiency.

 

Diff Height Adjustment.
The new diff height adjustment of the semi-split bulkheads uses eccentric bushings to set the diff position. The diff height has 3 different settings. The diff height adjustment is a vital tuning option that allows quick set-up adaption for all different track conditions.
The ideal position will vary depending on the track conditions and ride height.

Central Drive Train.

The new design of the semi-split bulkhead allows to adjust the angle of the CV joint depending on the track conditions, traction of the track and ride height used.

Matched Gears.

The new differential crown gear and bevel drive gear feature specially designed profiles of the 46T and 13T gears for a perfectly matched engagement for smoother operation, less drag and significantly longer lifespan.

Gear Differential.

The high-volume differentials improve vehicle control and consistency over long runs and enhance reliability. The differentials feature larger capacity cases and larger internal gears with more teeth for improved differential moment. The larger oil volume and the shape of the gear teeth reduce overheating for improved consistency. The stronger diff pin design also improves reliability.

Easy Diff Access.

The semi-split bulkhead design and compact front bumper allows direct access to the differential while the entire suspension assembly remains mounted on the car.

Chassis.

The chassis is updated to work with the all-new semi-split bulkheads and suspension holders, and features new rear milled pockets for increased chassis flex.

Shock Towers.

All-new front & rear shock towers provide the necessary clearance for the semi-split bulkheads, and the front shock tower features reinforced M4 shock screws for increased reliability.

Steering System.

The steering system includes a new Ackermann plate and graphite servo saver component shape to work with the new semi-split bulkhead. To ensure servo saver reliability, the servo saver parts are moulded from graphite material which is more resistant and efficient in dusty conditions.

Suspension Holders.

All-new front & rear suspension holders for semi-split bulkheads are redesigned for an expanded range of set-up adjustments. The front upper suspension arm holder is also updated for the semi-split bulkhead.

Wickerbill Wing.

All-new wickerbill rear wing features more downforce that helps increase traction when needed. 12 pre-marked airflow hole positions can be opened to reduce downforce to fine tune handling characteristics as needed. The wickerbill plate is mounted via 5 screws for easy changes.
Made from a strong special composite mixture, the wing was designed to survive severe abusive and extreme crashes while keeping its shape.

Front Upper Arms.

Front upper arms have additional mounting holes for the optional front upper arm wings. The wings increase downforce on the front suspension for increased traction and helps to keep the buggy nose down.
Optional wings are available in Lexan and Carbon alternatives.

Suspension Arms.

To improve the performance and reliability, the Pivot Ball suspension arms and optional C-hub suspension are molded from special composite mixture. The rear suspension arms are molded from extra-hard composite mixture that makes the car easier to drive. The front lower and upper arms feature a composite mixture change from soft to medium. The optional front lower C-hub suspension arm is molded from a hard composite mixture.

Bevel Drive Pinion Gears.

To increase reliability and strength, the M4 set screws on the central CVD universal joints were replaced by more robust M5 set screws to eliminate stripping the screw during installation or maintenance.
Central CVD shaft universal joints are made from world-renown HUDY Spring Steel. Strategically machined for toughness and reduced weight without compromising strength. Fits front & rear central CVD drive shafts.
