Felony planning to do a diff exchange

[davidD]

I'm thinking about making the Felony to Infraction conversion and check how it drives with all same size wheels.
If I exchange the input gear and the main diff gear (GP5 instead of current GP6) on the back, the wheels will be more "inside" the body, as the current wheels are wider.

I think people solve that by using Kraton axles? Please let me know the alternatives for someone living in Europe, i.e., not having direct access to m2cracing, Jenny's, ...

Thx in advance fellows!

You can run these Hoons on the rear. They are the same width and offset as rear Felony Hoons, but have the same diameter as the fronts. Use GP5’s front and rear.
Or, as you mentioned, go to the Kraton hub swap.

Interesting! I'm wondering how will it handle with those "smaller" tyres

Better, for sure. The 53/107’s have been regarded by many to just be a “weird” tire. I had them at all four corners of a Typhon street basher (simply because they looked bad ass) and it handled terribly. I went to the 100mm (standard) Hoons and the car was transformed. Also, almost certainly the reason that so many people concur that the Infraction handles so much better than the Felony. The staggered tire size is essentially the only difference in the chassis.
