Isnt a torsen diff only the center diff?

 

[tmaster97]

from what i understand they actually have all three

from this page you can see they sell the front/rear and center torson diffs for the Inferno MP7.5:

other than this, i have to be admit that I know nothing about the torson diffs. sorry :shrug:

I hope the price is in Colombian Pesos not British Pounds, $150+ for a single diff, jingle bells!

 

[RobH]

I think that's the symbol for the Euro. That's makes the center diff $163.13 USD

yeah they are pricy little things. I think the ones from GS Racing are like $200+

$240 for some of them. When you need a torson diff, you've got pockets as deep as FastEddy.

I have deep pockets and that's a lot more than I would like to spend. What am I saying. BS, if I wanted them I'd buy them just as I have done throughout my life buying whatever I fancied at the moment.

In short, they simply transfer power to the wheels with traction, when your car breaks loose. That is what is supposed to happen anyway. With a regular diff, you get your power going to the wheels without traction, therefore losing more and more of it. It's definately a noticeable change after you switch, but its a matter of preference - some like it, most dont...

Personally I think its a nice way to throw away money - but hey, if you've got enough to do that, why the hell not give it a shot?

They are worth their money if you race. Fioroni just came out with this new diff called the Tractive 4

thanks guys for the input i only race the car the only time i run it off the track is to break in new motor. i just put the rb ws7II on it that is why i was thinking of going with the fioroni diffs

Damn Humboldt! You always have the links on the buggy jiz! I love it!

I'm pretty certain I am going to trick out my Inferno over the winter and more than likely was going with Torsen diffs. However, I had no Idea the tractive 4's would be out soooooooo, I may just spend more $$ on even better Torsen diffs! lol THANKS A LOT HB!

I think the only Fioroni parts though that I am going with are the front/rear chassis braces as well as the front/rear shock stays. The rest I may go with Racers Edge.

what advantages does the Tractive have over a regular Torsen? And what are the differences between LSD's and Torsen's... like what is the difference when it comes to driving?

christian -
Since Fio and RE both cost a truckload, why don't you go for the same gear all round? They are similar standards of quality too.. but personally I think the Fio U-R stuff looks better.

I reckon things would look more complete if you used one set of gear.... considering RE is a flat pro-greyish colour, while Fio-UR is a bright blue with silver machinings, they're not exactly a blend.
