MIP Bi-metal differential outdrives

Seen at last weekend’s Reedy Race of Champions for the first time are MIP’s new Bi-metal differential outdrives. They consist of a two-piece design, revolving around a 7075 hard anodised aluminium disk that is ambidextrous to both the female and male steel outdrives that couple to the aluminium disks. These new bi-metal outdrives will work with MIP’s Roller Pucks along with the standard orange plastic puck. The new diff components will be available soon for both current Team Associated and TLR vehicles and they are perfect for modified racers looking for a bit more punch out of the corners but also stock short course and stadium truck can achieve a lighter drivetrain while getting the optimum wear characteristics that the roller pucks offer over the plastic pucks.
