yup they work, cost a fair bit though, i think a HARM mag diff new from HARM is £200+ odd then ian oddie mods them at extra cost (adds the internal wires and does some other stuff to them)
then again a stock alloy diff is £180 odd new for most cars lol. not sure if they would work as well being scaled down for 1/10th as your diffs are about 5 times smaller than the 1/5th units we use (my stock diff was not much under the weight of my x10 without wheels and radio and running gear lol) not sure if the magnetic feild it generates would have the same effect (might do as the cars are smaller/lighter and the diffs do rotate alot faster than our 1/5th things)

i wonder if mr oddie has made one for that psychotic reliant kitten yet (if he still has it!) he's worse than me, he will modify anything!!

gear diff v's ball diff in durango
following this very interesting thread, after some posts of gear diff inconsistency/difficultness in handling/performance, I decided to install a ball diff into my durango to see for myself if a ball diff will make this car handle better.
testing to follow in the next couple of weeks. will keep you posted! |

Is that a Kyosho ring gear? They are bullet proof when properly meshed with the Kyosho pinion gear but I am not sure (because I don't know anybody who has tried it) how well it will last with such a small meshed area with the Durango pinion. Might be worth trying to get the mating Kyosho part in there if at all possible.

It's right at the outside though so it'll stand the best chance it could of surviving! It might be an idea to fill in the inner half of the teeth on the diff gear with epoxy to give the outer part of the the teeth that's being used a bit more support.
I bet the car has loads more grip with ball diffs |

ASAIK the D diff is a direct fit in the K, so should be the same vice versa

I'm betting that too. Quote:
I'm not going to bother getting an FS and putting a gear diff in, as I feel ball diffs in offroad will be superior, IMO. |

I understand that fully Just thought it might be a good idea to use also the plastic planetary gear (small one) from the Kyosho, as that one is also plastic. Looks like you've kept the Durango steel gear as for now.

I've been running a month or so now, I would guess about 5000 laps or so, still good as new...... :P The new 22 uses two more diff balls, which means 14% more surface area, that should mean a lot more solid, and a lot less wear and maintenance!

will see how it goes as the durango gear was the easiest option. I cannot see the kyosho drive gear fitting at all to be honest the way the durangos front shaft is arranged.

Have you run the car yet with K diffs?
Did you have to modify the Kyosho out drives for the durango shafts to fit in?? The pin is thicker then the kyosho ones so you will need to open up the outdrivs, slots to fit..i wonder about the ball with pin through it as well.. this is bigger and maybe to tight in the outdrive.. Ive tried Durango diffs in the FS2... good but too brutal..pretty straight forward to fit, just make sure all meshing is spot on. |

had a run yesterday, failed within 5 minutes. I couldn't tell you how it handled any differently as the track was blown out from all the rain we have had. Metal bevel gear ate up the kyosho diff gear fairly quick. I dont know if I can fit a kyosho bevel in, as durango setup has a cvd 2cm coming out of gearbox. It sure would be nice to know someone handy with a lathe at this time lol I used kyosho sp drive shafts, along with kyosho hex. gear diff in fs2 no good? if you could explain how it handled.....thanks. That just makes me want to make this durango ball diffed even more. |
