No it doesn't have to be an XXL diff. I use that one because I like the metal inserts in there. But I have made center diffs using Losi LST2, Ofna Hyper 7, Thunder Tiger S3. I am sure there are many more diffs from other manufacturers that can be used. And you don't have to start with a center diff to make a center diff. An ordinary front or rear diff can be used as the ring gear would be modified to become a cap just like a spur gear from a center diff would be. After I modified spur gears and ring gears to make diff caps, I can say that the ring gear from a diff is easier to modify because there is less material to grind off than a spur gear.
