New Diff?

[tapeworm]

After hearing of this thing being out there, how long do you think before someone makes one of these for an off-road swingaxle transmission? It looks like it would completely eliminate axle issues. What type of articulation do you think these would be able to achieve? At $2000 it would add to the already outrageous trans prices. What are other people thoughts?

the way the rules are written for SCORE, it doesnt seem to be in violation of them. It would just violate your wallet.

CR
25 TRANSMISSION
Type 1bug,
4 speed swing axle only. Heavy-duty side plates and differential allowed. Stock VW type1-
ring and pinion ratios only (8.33 and 8.35). Stock VW Type 1 gears only. Closed ratio 3rd
and 4thgears allowed.
Axle over tubes permitted.
Other internal modifications are optional.

Swing axle travel is limited by the tube, not the axle. The CV's would last way longer though.

But by going to a 930 CV rather than the paddles and fulcums, travel will be increased. Tubes have been modified before, but the fulcrum axle is what stops more travel. This eliminates that issue.

It sure would ease up the abuse on the R&P

Yes it would. Axles that twist! I think the issues with the spool aren't as bad with the swing as they are with the IRS set-up, but costs for trans with this set-up would surpass a built bus I think. When do you simply say switch to type 1 IRS like the 11s run?

cool,but these cars all ready have allot of camber ,more travel would not be a good thing.but at the same travel they have now it would be cool to see how they would work.

Even if you keep travel the same, a twisting axle stops broken axles.
