_paralyzed_ "Basically there is no point in doing what you're doing. It's like putting a spoiler on a station wagon." Haha Thanks for the reply Maybe you are right

And I know that he meant losi xxl diffs, but I thought they had the same pitch ( or very close to the same ) as the savage xl diffs and other 1/8 scale diffs except the CEN monster and Hpi bulletproof diffs, I´m sorry If I got it wrong. I just thought it was a good camparision picture.

I am not fooled by hpi's marketing, there is always something else for another amount of cash that is better, or better suited for the application. But after alot of reading in alot of different forums I couldn´t see any stronger diffs really...Maybe UE has something but that is not an possibility.

I just wanted to make it as good as possible when I´m at it... Mistercrash destroyed several diffs in his xxl Losi.. Yes I know that is one HEAVY truck, but hey I want to run 5s with pretty big tires and the slipper tight... I bash very hard in sandpits and I´m doing things that puts alot of strain to the drivetrain, I´already at to change my summit shafts for losi lst dogbones and axels

( trying to finish Mc´s tip :

http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...&postcount=655 )

If someone has a better suggestion please feel free to speak, Semi Pro, "as for monster being the home of overkill i agree, but hey its his money......" Stop being so negative and help me instead

You are saying that the lost diffs will be more than enough, maybe you are right, but I am concerned because I have read about people who had done the Lst mod and haven´t had any differential issues what so ever after and that is good, but... There are some people who runs the stock diffs just shimmed for more then a year without issues... It all depends on the drivingstyle and setup of the truck..

I can use the stock diffs with small superlightweight truggy tires for many many hours of hard driving without problems, but as soon as I slap on some bigger tires for more groundclearence and more gyro effect when I´m at driving in the sandpits....Bye bye stockdiffs

I have been thinking of getting Lst diffs and run them to see if they are enough for the application.. But if they aren´t, then I have throwed out alot of money for something that doesn´t work.

I have learned one important thing from this hobby over the years, Do it right from the beggining, don´t "cheat"

So if someone has a Lst with the diffs open, feel free the meassure the bearings

whole lst diffs and aluminum cases can be had for $15 on ebay. Not a bad investment.

I have a savage and lst diff here but can't get out of bed. Sorry!
