Atlas T-case

Fair enough, so fully built, atlas wins. Not just on paper, but reputation also.

But what about just a standard trail series vs a billet D300? Seems like they would be very comparable in similar ratios?

Trail case is stronger also.. only reason I see atlas having a bad rep is cuz the u4 guys literally beat the guts out of them.

I wonder if the billet case would had less deflection and be less likely to break gears?

It's still going to be the failure.. might last alittle longer but that will still be the break. Like I said if the case survives that tooth washing through. That's the win. Throw another gearset in and be back working. 300's are like toyota stuff.. their strong until their not

Also.. the low max gears fail the same as the Terra gears.

Seems like you’ve seen a lot of these 300s fail, just curious what type of application? Racing, trails, bouncing, 4cyl, big blocks?

Your distributor gave you the middle finger on that pricing.
Even at the height of covid, Atlas were about 3 to 4 months.
Now they're about 6 to 8 weeks.

So could the race case be made into a 6X case?

Two rear outputs, same case.

Just rock crawling and normal trail stuff in jeeps/toyotas.. I've killed at least 20 personally lol

I’ve seen a lot of them broken in all kinds of ways. Mostly rock crawlers with V8’s and big tires.

Add big block 2.5's and 22re's to that list and don't forget tydes sammi junk murdering them as well. Lol!

It's funny that people think those little engines are easy on parts. Which they would be correct if 90% of them weren't ~200:1 with a manual :laughing:

No, they are so easy to work on it’s crazy. I’m being sarcastic about the tools but not at all sarcastic about AA trying to convince you that you shouldn’t work on it yourself.

They weren't enthusiastic about the idea when I called to ask the easiest way to get rid of the interlock so I could run it in high/low simultaneously. But after some cautioning of "it's bad and will void the warranty", they walked me through how to do it. I did bend the truth a touch about why I wanted that, might've called the front axle a PTO implement in that conversation.

I agree overall though, they're pretty easy to work on.

As to the 6x6, to put the housing pieces together to make that, yes, can be done with the race case, I think viable with some 205 variants as well. To get the shafting such that it actually works and is shiftable, not as easy, the gearing and the front/rear combo output that end up inline, gets weird. Easiest IMO would be to accept that you never again can disengage the front from the offset rear, and just use a single straight-through shaft. You can shift its engagement (high/neutral/low) but you can't uncouple the axles from each other at the tcase end. Best bet at that point would be your 2wd is the centered-output rear, and put locking hubs on the other two axles if you want to stop them from spinning all the time. Not the greatest setup, IMO; if I'm stuck with two axles being coupled all the time in a 6x6, I'd much prefer they be the rear two, not one rear to the front. I think an air shift divorced 205 between the rears with a conventional 4WD feeding it would be a better solution for that, but the gear ratios get interesting quickly with that.

I can’t remember his name, former half owner of M40 in Moab, Steve Natz’s partner IIRC did that and I remember AA promising it was guaranteed to grenade. In the single seat comp buggy it seemed to be ok

Easier to work on than a 205 imo
