Mk2 Escort rear axle...Pro's and Con's
Im currently building a locost and want to use a mk2 escort solid rear axle. Can anybody give me the advantages and disadvantages of the mk2 axle over
using the sierra diff. Obviously i wont have an independent suspension setup if i use the mk2 axle but is this a bad thing?

I have one, and it seems great to me. I guess the downsides include limited supply, limited ratios available, lsd not readily available (aftermarket
only really), drum brakes (although I don't see that as an issue). On the plus side, its a light weight setup (believe it or not!), its much
easier to setup than IRS, and many prefer the way they handle.
