Looking good Linc. Looks like you should be able to just clamp the two bulks together and run a drill into the input shaft hole to open it up. Could you mic that input casing on the LST?

Linc: what? no lst diffs in bed? What kind of rule is that

I think so. My only question is clearance for the center driveshafts. I know cvds will fit fine, but I am not 100% on sliders yet.

Thanks. Not sure if I have a large enough drill to do that, plus addl material needs to be removed in key areas to allow the cases to fit. Bit of trial and error involved. I will assemble the diff and put the lower skid on the bulks. I want a tight fit, but do not want to distort either the bulkheads or the diff case.

Let me get them finished and I will take a few snaps. Depending on what I can get figured out, I may make up a few sets, if anyone is interested...

It is not a difficult mod to do with the right tools, but there is not a ton of material to work with, and specific areas are very hard to get right.

I had a good look at it, and it seems just like the hpi version, which never wears out. It is definately a big improvement over the stock plastic cup. These are not really needed for a r/c with light, small tires. But a MT with big tires and thick diff fluid puts alot of strain on the cross shafts, so having the steel inserts will spread the load and cut down on wear at the same time. Plus it is lighter than the nova rc diff cups, and light is good IMO.
