    It'd be better than a "crooklock" if you had a handbrake working on the wheels and not the gearbox.

    Hi Ben
    The wagon seems to have a better pinion angle,but it also has army hangers that you would expect to negate it somewhat.The van springs are sad so that would also negate the angle I guess.Cant really compare to the Toy in the shed,I have extended the dumb irons army style and used army hangers.
    The van still has its D2 style front driveshaft,no wonder they fail on a D2,borowed from the series part bin

    I think you've got that wrong. The double cardan joint on the D2 can't be lubricated in service. I would be very surprised if that were the case with the double cardan on the Stage 1 or almost any other vehicle that uses them like Isuzu trucks.

    Andy - compare the angle of the pinion to the position of the spring pads. Or the angle of the diff pan to same.

    The DC joint in a stage 1 is quite durable.

    So a stage 1 is supposed to have a double cardan joint on the driveshaft to the front diff?
