I have been taking apart my vorza diffs... THEY ARE MUCH BETTER ALL AROUND OTHER THAN THE RING GEAR!
Remember the vorza stock internal gears are the HOT BODIES HARDENED STEEL INTERNALS... and there is an ever so slight difference in thickness.
I took plenty of pics to compare...
VORZA VS SAVAGE DIFFS (all vorza parts are on the left and savage on the right of the pics
Diff Mess
Firstly i will say that the vorza diff cup, although plastic... is extremely ridgid, and due to the design, actually has more material. So i have no problems using a plastic cup knowing it is this tough. You will notice this in the pics.
Notice in the pic below. The steel cap which allows the vorza cup to use an 8x16x5mm bearing.
Also notice the grub screw. This allows the use of a larger pin to hold the sun gears in place, dispersing the force over a larger surface area much better. (i snapped these pins often with the shorter savage pins. Pics will show this furthur down.
Spider gears are ever so slightly thicker. Maybe not noticeable on camera, but in person you can notice a slight difference. Also notice the longer axle pin! Also the washers that go behind the spider gears are twice as thick as the savage ones and are not flexible.
Sun gears... slight difference again.. .vorza on left... ever so slightly more robust than the savage.
AXLES - obviously there is going to be a differnce... but i believe the strength of both seems quite equal...
There is an obvious difference in length in the picture below...
But the actual internal thickness of the axles are the same!!! one is just larger than the other. I believe if i did carry out the LST Hub conversion on the savage (thanks to linc!) i believe these axles would work fit well with the lst CVD and i would most likely use the vorza cup... BUT if because the vorza cup is a little shorter than the flux cup, and the LST CVD falls out of the vorza cup upon turning, then i guess i will need to use an HD Savage cup rather than the SHD cup...
