need better diff for rustler.

[A RC Dude]

i eather need a metel case to go around the diff gears to elimanate flex. the stock traxxas diff doesn't seem to be holding up too well at all in my car! I'm hoping a metel case will solve the problem.

Where could i find one? or do i haft to go with a hole new diff?

Thanks for the help!

Do you mean an aluminum transmission case? Here's one:

I have never stripped a plastic diff gear when using that.
If you haven't seen it, here's Traxxas' steel diff gear:

And of course Mike's HARDENED diff gear with aluminum case:

i allready have the FLM tranny case. and the diff case is fine. it's just the gears inside the diff that keep braking!

... rc dude, you're not making much sense. you said you needed a diff case that the gears go in.. metalman's 3rd link is a steel/aluminum diff case.

Have fun with the diff internal gears, traxxas new batch of gears are too hard, I ended up using some really old gears and they have lasted. I went thru three sets of diff internal on one pack!

This is whatyou are talking about, correct:http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJJ20&P=M

A4DTM: I was afread i wasn't making much sence. and the third link metelman posted, was the whole case steel/aluminum or just the teeth? If the whole things steel/aluminum then that is what i need. I just couldn't tell from the picure if it was or not.

lincpimp: those are the gears that keep braking.

If you are having issues with the internal gears the al cased diff will not help. I am not sure what to suggest, the new traxxas batch of gears are too brittle. I used some really old internals, the gears we shinny, not black like the newer ones. Since then the diff has held up just fine. I also tried the al cased diff and it made no difference. Maybe a call to traxxas is in order?!

i called traxxas yesterday, thare sending a new diff but other than that all thay said was loosen the slipper a little.

I never had issues with the old ones either, and like linc said, there shiny

The new *steel* crap from the VXL stuff is no good.......

so where would i find the older diffs?

[t-maxxracer32]

ebay.

[A RC Dude]

so i just look for the origanal rustler diff; the one with the stinger motor right?

[A RC Dude]

hum, would the ball differential work better?

[_paralyzed_]

i havent had luck with the ball diff, it melts like loose slippers, i jb welded my diff internals for posi, but it makes it even harder to drive straight, but the roosts are awesome and my diffs last
