Which is better and why? a 6 spyder diff or 8 spyder diff?

Do you think that the Ti cvd made by UE is better than the other CVDs made by other companies?

Why in God's name do all the things made by UE seems way more expensive than other manufacturers?

Do I really need the diff housing made by UE to house the 1/8 diffs or will the FLM hybrids do the job?

For the money, go 8 spyder. The diff cup is alum, with the 6 spyder it's plastic/ nylon. Price diff isn't that much and you'll get a much stronger diff that will never strip.

Titanium cvd's is a very strong no no. Ti will wear so much faster than rolled heat treaded steel. Stick with the 6mm's and you'll be fine.

UE is the best you can get. Look at their racer x and compare it to integy very cheap knock off. Quality is expensive, but it also is very very strong.(unlike the integy version from all the story's i've heard)

If you plan on going big block brushless(wow that sound's sweet) i'd suggest yes. It is so smooth, set it and forget it. No other diff set-up come's close to being so maintanance free.

price=quality..

what you pay is what you get and what you can expect. UE is better than FLM, topnotch finish.. better materials, but the question is; do you need it to be that good? from that point of view, i can suggest getting the FLM 1/8th combo's. THey are sweet and nice.
Do the math buddy! UE isn't THAT expensive..

Combine them with the FLM hybrids, and i personally think it is a fair price to pay for the diffs..

Well, does the therapist carry them? the 8 spyder diffs, that is.

He sure does.....

I agree with Serm, For the $$$ theFLM can't be beat. As far as strength and finish all FLM products are guaranteed against bending and breaking. And the finish is from the actual milling of the products. High quality and workmanship ;)

Hmm.... can I also combine FLM chassis and Hybrids with UE extd suspension kit and any other hop ups from UE or any other manufact?!

Sylvester · 12.15.2005, 09:17 AM

Yes, you can, the extended UE suspension will work with the flm chassis and hybrids.

Any body knows where can I get a cheap e-maxx? probably someone wants to sell his for 100 dollars? The things I'm going to get for the maxx will easily top 1500 dollars. A cheap e-maxx is a must.

Sylvester · 12.15.2005, 10:40 AM

Arent you building an all aluminum emaxx? Why would you want a stock emaxx?

captain harlock · 12.15.2005, 11:42 AM

????!!!! Dont I have to get an E-maxx to build an all aluminum truck?

Papa · 11:54 AM

The only thing I used was the transmision. And on that I added the Gmaxx single speed, and the Ue idler gear. Oh yeah, i also got some body post.:p Everything else is from UE, Gmaxx, BK, Lehner, Hitec.
