all front / rear diffs usually contra rotate to allow the props to rotate in the same direction, G wagon props well 460 and 461's props contra rotate as the diffs are basically the same front and rear.

460 transfer box is 1:1 in high and 2.14:1 in low.

the front prop does turn backwards, but the rear turns the same direction as "normal" cars

G wagon back axles are about as perfect an axle as you can get, lightweight, super strong and simplistic.

Shame the same connot be said for the front though.
