I've been intrigued by the center diff on the new 4s Mojave (and I assume the rest of the 4s lineup soon). I really love my Vorteks and figured it would be a great addition. However, the diffs and housings have been on backorder for a bit.
I managed to find some shops that had them in stock, and they arrived today.
Install is pretty straightforward, but there isn't much room in the Vorteks chassis. To further complicate things, I'm running a 3665 motor instead of I think the 3660 is stock? So slightly longer. I had to remove the receiver box/servo mount, install the diff/motor, then reinstall the box and servo. There is literally not a millimeter to spare, the receiver box lid is touching the back of the motor. But it fits!
Stock driveshaft works, because you don't need the little stub shaft that you need with the slipper. Driveshaft goes directly from front diff to center diff without any other parts.
Out of the box, it does seem to make things a little more controlled, not as wheelie crazy. Obviously that can be fine tuned to ones preference with different center diff fluid. I'm happy with it for now, might play with pinion size instead.
