I'm likeing the idea of locking the diff, I just blew out another diff on my baja!!

[Vertigo Performance]

Yah Yah..... I WANT I WANT!!!! LOL!!!

We will see in about a week if the prototypes work out!!!

[Rock Concepts]

I had a Diff lock up at Dumont it seemed to work real well in the sand, pushed alittle but worked well

[Rex]

I had the diff on my Leopard lock up on me.(Internals crushed)

Absolutely undrivable, only wanted to do Donuts, even at only 20% throttle on dirt.
Controllable on tarmac, but that is only 5% of my driving...

[mradlin]

My diff was locked up for a bit, Before the internal went to moosh! I didn't really notice too much difference at all in the way it handled, but that was on loose dirt.

[Vertigo Performance]

We are hoping to have prototypes done by Friday..

[Doctor RC]

Bring in on!!! I could really use this. I am using 50000wt diff oil at the moment. But I want THIS NOW

[Accord_boy619]

Im using JB weld as diff fluid.:D I had to cuz my diff inards got chewed up.

[Vertigo Performance]

Here is a photo of our prototypes feel free to post them elsewhere.
The best thing about a locker (I mean spool) is that you dont destroy your expensive gears trying to lock up your diff.

Price between $30.00 and $40.00

It looks so nice, it's too bad it has to be hidden away inside the diff case.

[VertigoPerformance]

So now you want external gears, man can't make you happy LOL!!!!!
Maybe an external case is what is needed!!!!!!

[mradlin]

Made out of Quasi??? That would look sooooo good!;)

[Accord_boy619]

Updates? updates? updates?

[Vertigo Performance]

This week we have hardware arriving that will allow us to install and fit since the parts will come with, 24mm pins and pin retainers.

[mradlin]

Woo Hoo!!! Getting closer! :)

[Accord_boy619]

Will it be ready in a week? Im leavin soon.

[Vertigo Performance]

When are you leaving? we are in Canada and it would take 6 business days after we mail it to get to you.
Production is a month away, the prototypes reworked I am trying to get to but freeing up the time is a problem.

[Accord_boy619]

Well said a week week for shipping leeway. But I leave the continent the first week of may.

[Accord_boy619]

Updates???

[one5thscaler]

Will this new Diff. fit in other RC models? I'm always in the market to improve the performance of my RC Car!

[VertigoPerformance]

The Baja diff is completely different than all the rest, it has a 3 gear tranny like 1/10 scale cars. Nothing crosses over except engine and clutch.

[Accord_boy619]

Any new news? When is it goin to be available?

[Vertigo Performance]

We have hub carriers in the next couple of weeks, hopefully clutchbell carriers in the next couple of weeks then possibly lockers after that. We are too small to be able to slap too much on the market in one hit.

[bama689]

So in about a 2 months?

[Vertigo Performance]

Yah....

unless we can get them out earlier.
We have some prototypes here that if we ever get them onto the handmill to correct the small problem we will offer them out.

There are 2 people on the list and we have 4 up for grabs..
Bama you are number 3 if you want..

[Doctor RC]

Hey Clayton any chance of being number 4?

[VertigoPerformance]

Always someone wanting to be number 4, whatever happened to people being happy with #1??? :)

[Doctor RC]

Lol, I dont care what number I am as long as the wonderful VP products keep coming for my Baja!!!:cool: :cool: :cool:

[mradlin]

Just so I know, what number am I? LOL!!

[Vertigo Performance]

I think you are #2

[mradlin]

I think you are #2
LOL!!! Reminds me of Austin Powers! ;)

[Just_Gerald]

[Wolverine]

How much and low long??? (I know, I know, fairly open ended question for you sick minds...lol..) Am heading up to the dunes at the end of the month and recon this would be awesome....

[Vertigo Performance]

Spool is on the list, we have atleast one more item coming out before the spool.. If it works as we hope (And things rarely do)
It will be cool and Razor sharp :)
