MIP TLR 22 Bi-Metal Super Diff kit

Coming from MIP and made for the TLR 22 series of buggies and trucks is the Bi-Metal Super Diff kit. It features a race-proven 2-piece outdrive design that helps to shed about 30 percent of the OEM rotational mass without sacrificing strength and durability. To compliment the advantages of the Bi-Metal outdrives it also includes all-American diff components including tungsten carbide diff balls, diff rings, 2-piece captured thrust assembly, bearings, machined aluminium T-Nut, and a new spring/screw. Also part of the package are updated aluminium diff hubs that now accept the TLR dimension diff rings, allowing for easier rebuilds. The diff fits all 22 series vehicles and it is available now.
