I think yours may have frog suspension.

The re-release Brat has the rear dampers, differential & 540 motor from the Frog :)

One of the main differences between the Brat and the other ORV vehicles was the lack of a rear diff as I remember? But it was a looooong time since I have owned one. MB gearing is much more effective IMHO.

I think it had a bronze shaft that linked the primary drive shaft hubs, it was not a independent diff. But as I say, it has a been a few weeks... :dry:

Well, I think the rere is a lot better technically but the original is stronger and could possibly take a brushless... The rere would strip it's diff gears and separate for sure. (Yes I tried) :dry: I run a 'racing' frog, it uses a KBF gearbox and is 50times stronger. But not original ;)

The shocks on the original are pants though.
