Ok Guys... i am about to do an entire rebuild of my diffs and even though i have GH Alloy bulks, my diff internals and bearings continue to fail sooner than i like.
A few things i want to touch on here...
Diff Case - It has come up that people want to get rid of the stock alloy diff case as it uses the 10x16x5mm bearing that seems to fail extremely quickly.
What are the alternatives that are able to work with the HPI BP Ring gear?
What i know so far, but any input would be better...
Forza flux diff case works (Proven here
http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29094) but i do not like the idea of using a plastic diff case with a heavy MT application and huge brushless power. Flex in the case will occur eventually and cause premature wear of the spider gears. But i am following that post to see how it goes.
-This works because the stock savage spider gears drop right in and the BP Ring gear bolts on.
Another option was the HELLFIRE DIFF CUP... BUT this requires more work. Yes it uses the 8x16x5mm bearing but the internals of the cup are not the same as a stock savage cup.
Up to 32 shims are required for getting all the internals shimmed correctly... But the BP RING Gear does fit fine.
Spider Gears - We all know that the savage spider diffs are OK and are hit and miss... some complain that they alway wreck them and others are ok. Bit some people have talked about these
http://www.hpiracing.co.uk/piw.php?partNo=101142 having better thicker surface area and result in a stronger better mesh. Only problem is that it can be a tight fit without 1 or 2 alloy Diff gaskets from a hellfire

Diff Case Screws - When ever i need to get into my diff, i always seem to shred these rubbish stock screws.
What HEX HEAD screws would be ideal... anyone know?
THANKS
JOSH
