Savage BL Conversion

I don't think there is any downside other than increased mass, but then again, we are talking abou brushless here. Increased mass near the front means more traction, which means you can put down more power.

Regardless, I guess this is a thing of what the ed user likes best. I like sealed better, some others might like open better for the weigt savings.

Any word on the distance between bearings on a standard center diff?

BTW: My gerbox is currently less than 200grams, and still has plenty of room to reduce that more. I am going to wait till I have final dimensions before I really lean it out though.

Bearing distance on XRay/Mugen/Slipperential Diff: 32.5mm (32.3 on xray?)

Ok, measured the diff and it is 34mm from the outside of the bearing to outside of the other bearing. That is a hyper8 diff with a plastic kyosho spur, so it should be the widest spur/cup combo you will encounter. Any slack can be taken up with 16mm od shims.
