Not necessarily, no. You'd have to get a bunch and do measurements. Now the Vorza diff is used in the Vorza, Hot Bodies D8/D8T and most of the Stadium line from Hot Bodies. The ring gear even works with the HPI Savage X diff cups. Think the Savage X diff internals are the same as on the Vorza/D8/D8T/Stadium but not 100% sure as they have different part numbers.

But the diffs out of my RC8T are slightly different size to diffs in the Savage X.

As a note, they bearings are probably the most important part though really as far as mounting the CD goes. The length dimension may differ slightly but the vehicles I've dealt with have the same outside bearing size (Savage, RC8/RC8T, Stadium and D8 diffs); believe they are all 8x16 bearings.

What is the point? Yes, the XL axle and other extends place more load on the outside bearing, but it fails just replace the bearing. I suppose you could construct a "wide knuckle" that actually extends the wheel out farther, but thats just really increasing the width of the track, which is helpful, but doesn't increase the suspension travel at all either.
