If you want a set and forget diff, i advice you to use the FLM 1/8th bulkless with hotbodies diffs. You can use them with output shafts instead of cups, so you can use the excisting 3.3 spec driveshafts.

Both are available from Mike's store.

A spool isn't helping a high speed truck (such as 5/6S) running stable at straights.

The maximizer cups and integy housings are nice too, but they are not tweakable with diff-oil so you are rather limited in your choice of slip.

They also don't offer the strength that the 1/8th conversion will give you.

The 1/8th bulkless also replaces another weak link in the design; the bulks. they tend to break sooner or later. (at the shocktowers or where the bulk is mounted onto the chassis)
