Looks like the pulleys are on the same side of the spur gear just the opposite of the TC5

From RH on Facebook:
"The differential is new. The front pulley is centered and the rear is offset but offset a different amount than the 7.1. Therefore the diff is not interchangeable with the 7.1."
"New = chassis, top deck, foam bumper, battery retaining system, servo mount, motor mount, bearing caps, and shock towers. It will likely be too many items to make converting a 7.1 economically feasible."
"I forgot to add that the anti roll bar mount will be different."

The drivetrain layout and narrowed diff reminds me of the MI6evo. Also Schumacher's ease of setting belt tensions through moving the diff/spool position as well as the removal of diff/spool out of the car is something the other manufacturer's should look at incorporating too. It makes wrenching on those portions of the car super quick.

Didn't mean to cause you any confusion.

There is no confusion, you stated that the Mi6Evo has an easy diff to remove and it hasn't, it's one of the worst on any car, I'm sure this will be rectified on their next car. The belt tension adjustement on the Mi6Evo is a nice feature, but I would rather have quick access to changing my diff than belt tension which doesn't really change once set.

Ah, no that wasn't exactly what I said or meant. I've never owned the 6 or the 6 evo. I said "Schumacher" and it was a generalization. Again, sorry for the lack of clarity but then again I didn't realize it would get to this point.
Bottom line, it would be nice to see someone incorporate easy to remove diffs or easy to install pinions, maybe something like on the older Schumacher cars. Lol.

Our track is switching from a low/medium grey carpet to crc black carpet. I'm curious to get thoughts on what is the way to update my 7.1. I will be running USGT and 17.5. I have both AE aluminum and fenix chassis. I have seen people running standard read ends, 1up DTC, and seen people talking about BD8 rear hubs helping. I'm not planning in switching to new 7.2 (or 8) when released or go to another car. Just looking to make a smart choice in what will help the car the most.
Thanks in advance
