Well, i just want to be save;

Like I said I am not an abuser, but a user, not a basher, more of a speedrun-type.. (includes offroad speedruns) i'm thinking of a lightweight maxx(4 shocks/G-maxx CF chassis and a 7XL with a 9918 on 16-18 cells. (allready got the UE racerX a-arms)

I want to keep it light, but maintanance poor.. (those 1/8 diffs weight much more then the stock with a aluminum diffcup i guess?) My savage weights 6.2 KG, with a light tire/rim combo So it would be very nice to keep it under the 4 kg. I heard those GA bulks where rather heavy.. but very good. I want to use a flex free diffcase, to prevent the 13 tooth gear jumping over the ringgear.

And i like to see some aluminum. Mixture between a lightweight and a racer.

Did anyone here ruined a stock diff with the aluminum diffcup? If so, what went wrong? If i look at the mxx cups, i am sure the 37 and the 13 tooth gear will hold good, when shimmed propperly in a non-flexing diffcase, but those inner gears? are these strong?
