Quad Bike Rear diff??

Was sat in a traffic jam behind a RWD quad bike this morning... Chain Driven..

Anyone ever heard of anyone using a rear diff off one?

Just an idea...

No diff on chain driven quads. Live axle

You need to get it to slide to turn.....

I belive most have a solid axle with no diff. For that reason, some only have a single brake too. Only the bigger ones have a diff at the back although some are 4WD.

Mine is shaft drive, switchable 4x4
It had no dif at the rear.
Fine on loose stuff.
Does get a bit of a handfull on the road.
The amount of instructors that are still telling people to lean IN on corners....

Yea if you want to go strait on...
lean OUT get that inside wheel lifting so it skips and you'll go round fine with a solid rear axle..
