Best diff cup for Hotbodies Lightning diff
 

Does anyone here know what is the best aluminum diff cup for the hotbodies lightning diffs? I just bought 2 of these diffs and was thinking to change the plastic cup to aluminum..

I ordered some alloy diff cups from Innovative RC in the UK for the LSP diffs. I would love to tell you how they are but I ordered on April 9th and they still haven't shown up! I have heard good things about the diffs cups, but my personal experience with Innovative RC has not been very good.

I have 2 aluminum ones in my BPP truggy (Hot Bodies' drive train) due to me being power hungry and putting over 6HP and the plastic diff housing and internal gears kind of failed :lol:. I can't remember where I got it from, it was a while back. I think Mike sells them.

I think Nova RC has them, they have an Ebay store. Bondo has said he liked them in his LST, so the ones for the LSP are probably good too.

Two
 

There are two that I know of. I have a few from Maximizer, which I picked up from Tower Hobby, and a few of MonsterMikes, which are Savage diff cups. Either one will work great for your diff.

I dont think using the diff cup for savage would be a good idea as u will have to use 10x16x5mm bearing which is weaker than standard buggy bearing, 8x16x5mm.

So the only choice right now is nova-rc? Are they really 7075-T6 aluminum?

Really?
 

Have not heard one complaint about using these cups yet, and alot of people do use them.

The Nova RC diff cups are 7075 T6.
