Anyone Use Ofna Torsen Diffs? - 12.12.2008, 04:14 PM

I am looking at trying ofna torsen diffs in my revo in Mike's cups and wanted to know if anyone has experience with them. Mainly I need to know if they are of decent strength before sinking 350 into this project and blowing them out. This will be with a neu 2.5d on 6s.

Here is the specific diff I am talking about:

I've heard they blow under nitro power unless set up "loose"

Good information from both. I do not want to have 120 dollar blown diffs by any means. I will watch the losi ones and see what the feedback is. Who knows thoug, for 90 I may just go ahead and give them a try.

I will be using this for bashing so front and rear both will be used. I think this could be interesting. I had tried the positrack setup from Maximizer I believe but it was a but to tune correctly. This appears a much better solution.

Edit: the xray active diff looks interesting too.

i just sold 3 fioroni tractive iv diffs for $100 each. i am not sure if they could have been used for the revo or not but i know the spur gear can be traded out on them. the fioronis held up fine to my 1515 1.5D on 5s but i didnt like the lack of off power steering. the steering radius was increased alot and it just cant turn as tight with these type diffs. i am sure i could have adjusted the suspension to get tighter turn it but i never took the time to try. however, they definitely made the truck faster and climb better.
