No doubt, Donny rocked it! There certainly were incidents in 13.5 and still managed to drive away in the end. The back and for mod main, wow!

congrats Donny!

Drill out the diff rings? You would need a carbide drill bit I assume? Got any pics of the locked diff setup?

Sorry for the late reply, I will send photos tomorrow. No drilling required very easy mod, you will need another left side hub, I used a crc hub and 2 2.5mm screws and nuts.

I did use one diff ring on the inside of the diff, only one bearing is required, that is for the spur.

When I did this mod, my fast lap at my home track was 9.0 after locking the diff I went to a 8.4 fast lap with an average of 8.7.
