Isn't that nt1 diff sort of heavy? The spec diff should work if the nt1 fits./

That's why I said crapriorn light gears lol. You can get lightened outdrives Also and it should end up pretty light

But no the nt1 diff that fits the cyclone is the front which I'm pretty sure is smaller then the nt1 rear diff which is what fits the Xray. I'm not sure how much different the front and rear diffs are though

So are you running the gear diffs in both the front and rear? Also did you have to alter or completely change the dogbones?

I have my Atomic gear diff Just in the rear. I run 50mm dog bones in the rear of the T3 (and 50mm ECS in the front).

Also what type of grease? How does this gear diff effect the handling?

500 cst XRay Silicone Oil (running on carpet will need much thicker oil). Handling wise - there was much more rear traction under hard acceleration, and greater car rotation off power freeing up the car.

How do you know it was a totally stock spec r diff? Lots of people have issues with them in mod and that's all I will run. So I will spend the little extra and have a bomb proof diff.

And Clint jays doing the same thing I am lol. So you can ask him why he doesn't like it
