Because I think Tamiya are releasing gear diffs for the 417...

1. The 415 and 501 shared the same diff, so it's not dumb to think the new ones might!?
2. There's a Tamiya part number for a 417 gear diff, so that's not dumb
3. There's a Tamiya employee posting on this thread, who may well get parts number lists/more info earlier than the rest of us, so may know the answer before release. So that's not that dumb either....
I think its quite safe to say the 502 and 417 diffs have nothing in common besides 'possibly' the diff/thrust balls.

I mean, the 502 is shaft drive, the 417 is belt drive.

I dont see how you could think the diffs could possibly be interchangeable !

the dumb post was as a joke, but it seems you really are dumb by still thinking you are possibly correct
