Tatra 4x4 Dakar Race Truck

Center Spline drive lines have been around for a right good while, but I was always fascinated by the Tatras.
The video is a 6x6 but the principal is the same.

I am not seeing any accommodation for differentials. Is it there and i am not seeing it? Or is the animation just missing that detail?

The spider gears do the differentiating. The diff lock is in the 'witches hat'.

I do understand spider gears. I do not see any in the animation.

The video is probably using an inline differential.

AH I see that now. I was thinking that was some kind of planetary reduction gear set.
