The only problem so far was my screws backing out of the cup and breaking off. I need to get a new cup, I've been using a plastic diff cup from one of my rcs so I could get my Savage fix. A little more time to let the loc-tite set probably would have helped. Sound like the new HPI cup are a reasonable price and nothing to mod either.
How close was the fit? They seemed just a bit off when I modded mine, but don't recall exactly. If I could put the hpi R&P on the Cen diff I would (assuming I break mine anytime soon)
