mostly in the smoothness. The stock axles hopped a lot at full lock, with less steering. I was able to grind the stops a bit and get more, but I'm already hitting the links and shocks, so.....
Overdrive will play a huge part in this way of testing also. Even with the overdrive portal gears offered by Rhinorc the VRD will have more overdrive stock. I want to get more overdrive for my YueOneV2 myself (more than the portal gears alone) gonna have to put a 8/30 in the rear.
So, the VRD stock felt too much for me, so I put in the 9.8% U.D. gear in the front diff, and it now performs better for my comps. In the Rhino I swapped the rear 8/24 for an 8/30. So I think we're at like 27% and 34% for the O.D. ??? I think I'll do more comparisons... I do have the Rhino O.D. portal gears but not installed. My local comps are not high in traction, so shooting for the moon on O.D. is not as helpful as in other areas I've driven.
@brianmassey7563 I really like the amount of overdrive on the VRD, feels about perfect. I think it's about 47% and I want to get my YueOneV2 up there too. I also have 70:30 weight distribution on both, so the front drags the back around. I tried roughly 80% overdrive once, that was too much lol
@@keldonator all depends on where you crawl. I do drive at one of the places where Brian competes. 50% dirty dusty side hills. The stock carbon OD. does not work there
Less of an improvement than I was expecting, but definitely a difference!

@@brianmassey7563 Some wider offset wheels maybe 👍
@@keldonator for testing sure, but these rigs are set up for C2.5 comps, so wider is not going to help me there. For example purposes sure.
What new axle shafts did you get? I have the same axles and I’d like to do the same thing. Thanks for the great video and the information.

@@nicholasstephey8475 I don't think I'd care what surface I was driving on 🤷♂️
Do you have a link for the axles/"double cvds" you used in the rhino, i did not understand what you said.
