Pretty beefy isn't it! FLM didn't make it though. It was designed by Henry Weaver, a friend of mine (he's on www.rckingdom.co.uk forums) who's currently at college studying an engineering course of some sort. He really came through with this. Ever since the Dagger was released in 1999, people have been trying to improve the stock diff; and now that both I, and shortly he, have brushless Daggers the need for a stronger diff was urgent...so he set to work with his expertise, and some tips from me.:018:

I'm not sure if CF does qualify as 1/10th any more though; it's got a longer wheelbase than the stock Maxx trucks, but is slightly narrower...so I dunno. 1/9th? lol. The original Dagger is considered 1/10th and this thing is much bigger than that now in every dimension. Who can say? She weighs 3.7kg too, fully laden.

Anyhoo, I've now gotta go off and fiddle around with CF's CVDs...two of the drive pins backed out a bit during the run, so they need sorting (I'll probs put shrinkwrap round them to stop it happening again).:027:
