The front differential uses 4 bevel gears inside. I cut out the axle stub that usually holds the single connecting bevel gear, drilled through the entire housing and used a cut-off minifig shovel to create the diff’s central axle. The ends of the shovel were then melted to match the differential housing. I now have a diff that is is smoother, more durable, and stronger than normal. I’ll put up a close up picture of the diff when I get home, if anyone is interested.
