I got the hardened steel gear set, and the heavy duty pinion gear with the outdrive coupler. I never realized that the 1/8 diffs were so heavy duty. The mere size of the pinion shaft is very surprizing. The only thing that is missing is the pinion bearings & of course shims. Do you know what size the bearings are and where on might get them? A link would be nice. If I can get a list of the various sizes that I need I was thinking about purchasing like 100 bearings from Avid, since they are $1 each. Also are there any aluminum diff cups that will work on the Hot Body diffs? I do know that there are a set of aluminum "Torsen" diffs but at $120 a piece that is more than I wish to spend on one diff. I purchased the "Hot Body" diffs with the helical tooth ring and 10T-pinion gears, and I really like the way they look. For the price they look like they will hold up to pretty much anything in the Monster trucks. So if you have some info I would appreciate the assistance. Thank you.

Hay Jerry!!
I got lost a few places along the way, so lets try this.. I’m sorry I haven’t had much sleep lately and I’m to doing the best I can, so please work with me here ..


You’ve got these FLM bulks, these are awesome (great decision)

Yeah the Pinions are huge and 1/8 diffs will / should withstand even your punishment ..

The Pinion bearing for a 1/8 diff is / are 8x16. You would need four of them total, two for each pinion (assuming that you are using them in the FLM bulks). Mine came with my kits, so I don’t understand why your missing yours, but here a link to buy some proper bearings http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar...6BEARINGS!1001

Regarding the list for various sizes for bearings?? For what part?? your outdrive couplers (??) if yes then assuming that you have the 1/8 HPI diffs?? They are also 8x16 or should I say that the FLM bulks required 8x16 bearings, a total of 4 per each bulk (two for the outdrive couplers and two for the pinion), no other bearings are required for the diffs. my transmission takes a 5x10 on the output shafts (4) of them total, my 3905 slipper clutch takes the 5x10 and the only other bearings are for the drive lines / steering blocks, What am I’m missing?? note if you dont have the attached Diffs, then get 4 of each of the following bearings (8x12, 8x14, 8x16)

I’m sorry sir but I;m not aware of any aluminum diff cups for these diffs.

I would assume that any 1/8 aluminum diff cups would work?? But I wouldn’t bank on it!, it’s just an assumption.. Sorry but I can’t help here...

I would love to see some pictures or the link to your new hot body diff with the helical tooth ring and 10T-pinion gears (got any you can share)??


I hope this helps??.

Have a great one Jerry
