Yeah, that's a diff. I think it's just converted front wheel drive. Like they used the stock engine and tranny, mounted a transfer case to power the front axle as I'm pretty certain there is NO power going to the back... unless it's got electric/hydralic motors on the rear wheels or something.
Anyway, it's good that this is slow, with the rear suspension design I'd say it's dangerous going THAT fast. Nobody can't tell me those arms don't flex some when it gets up to speed.
I don't know, I think the, um, American X design with a Johnny Lift on the back is a little safer.
