okay, i'm going to go with a center diff, although i really thought about trying my luck shifting gears thru the 3 speed trans. i prefer simple though. my question is when you used the arena's center diff did you keep the front slider shaft or go to a dog bone? i think i would like to keep the slider but i need to make sure i have the right output from the diff.

i was going to use a gs sut center diff i have, but the output on the trans won't adapt to my diff for a easy swap. the front shaft is red locktight onto the front diff so i couldn't get it off to look at my options there.
