Sorry I only wrote 1/8 and confused you. Plus I was not particularly talking about Traxxas either. You can tell that some real thought went into the R&D for that diff.

My bad...since we were ALL talking about Traxxas, I just assumed you meant Traxxas as well, and I just wanted to let you know that Traxxas didn't make any 1/8 parts or vehicles (in case you didn't know)...especially since a LOT of people think that the Maxxes & Revos are 1/8, when in fact they are just 1/10.
You did not confuse me in any way, I thought
you were confused, so I was trying to clear things up for you.
Anyway, I agree, the diff I posted is pretty awesome, and would make a great upgrade for the Maxx/Revo-Based vehicles if it were larger. Actually, I wish Traxxas would make a drop-in 4-spider diff upgrade for the Maxx/Revo-Based vehicles, but since that is a common 1/8 scale type diff, I am sure Traxxas won't do it, and will stick with their standard 2-spider diffs to maintain the 1/10 scale rating.
I have to say, though, that if anyone just can't seem to keep their Traxxas diffs together, Mike's Hybrids are the absolute best way to go...PERIOD! If you can't get Mike's Hybrid diffs, the next-best thing to do is modify and install Losi LST diffs...they have proved to be an excellent upgrade, and many people are running them. I, myself, want to find a way to install & run a set of UE/Ofna 8-Spider diffs in my Revo...they are the best diffs ever created IMHO! Maybe Mike's upcoming Hybrid cases will be able to hold 8-Spiders...if they do, I will be a very happy camper!
