Thanks for the offer on the belts! I just ordered 3 of em....
The LSdiff works like this: as the rear tires start spinning, say coming off a corner, the clutches in the rear diff tighten up and the diff becomes a locked rear axle. This gives the rear end more traction. I had one in the MTx2 but don't use it in the 3.

Which Pullies Are You Changing?
Which pullies are you actually changing? Is it the side pullies at 19/24 to 16/19? And do you need a different belt-front or middle?
One more, for the experienced MTX3 racers, what diff oil comes with the kit? What wheight?
Thanks

Yes, you replace the 19T to 16T and 24T to 19T.

Thanks for the reply.
That brings me to my next question, why do you guys recommend going to a 4mm split between the front and rear wheels?
24/19 ratio is 1.263:1
19/16 ration is 1.187:1
It seems like a rather radical change in tire size. It's not like we're talking a bout a larger 1/8 foam tire.
Thanks

A 4 mm split when using the 16/19 conversion is needed so that the car will achieve the same front and rear overdrive (overdrive = 1:1). You need to make the front tire rollout the same as the rear tire rollout which is calculated as follows;
Front tire rollout = pi x front tire diameter / front final drive ratio
Rear tire rollout = pi x rear tire diameter / rear final drive ratio
A smaller final drive ratio for the front when comapred to the rear final drive ratio, the smaller the front tire diameter and vice versa.

Many have mentioned that at the end of a long main, the split still remains about the same as previously intended. My own experience has told me that I end up with 3 mm split after a long main when I started out with 4.5 mm. So the overdrive you get at the end of the main is not as bad as if you started out with same front and rear tire diameters and with stock internal pulleys which makes the car handling not constant.
