UE 8 spyder diffs

[luvsrc]

i'm planning to upgrade my emaxx diffs to UE 8 spyder diffs how much will it cost me to do it front and rear of course and is it worth it?

[squeeforever]

i think that the hot bodies lightning stadium diffs are better since there hardend and are also more helical cut. i would use those with the flm hybrid bulkless system. the hb's are about the same price as the ue.

Only you can say if it's worth it. They are pricey but they are the one thing on my truck that I've pretty much built and forget about them. If you intend on running a high powered BL system then I think they are a must. There are some other options out there that are pretty good also but I can't speak for them. One things for sure, you don't want to be taking your diffs apart any more than you have too.

The 8's will be a little bit more but just e-mail Mike and he can get you a quote. Good luck.

8 spyder's are better, since they got an alum casing which the lightning diff's doesn't have. Meaning the caseing won't twist under power, and that's what kill's diff's.

And if you really wanted too, you could throw a set of steel spyder gear's in there to make it even stronger.(instead of the molded one's) Which aren't expensive.

But they key question is, how much power will you put on them?

Sicco, have you got pics of that twisted diffcup?

i will be using it to race with a hacker 9xl , i've used the maximizer product but it is a pain to change it especially if you are racing it, is the price $240 includes both front and rear?or includes only one set?do i need to buy a different bulkheads for this? thank you guys for all your inputs

[Sylvester]

Yes, it includes both front and rear diffs. the bulkheads are the same as all of the bulks are, so your safe with whatever one you have.

Sneeck, where can i ge he steel spyder gears to replace the molded one?

[Sylvester]

towerhobbies should have them.

[mothman]

Ive never seen the steel gears for 8 spyders. Are you sure tower has them?

[coolhandcountry]

What kind of cvds you have luvsrc? Not all the cvds are compatible. That is for a set of front back with shims and diff housing.

The HB diff cups are plenty strong, sneeck. I don't think they would ever be an issue. The HB hardened diffs are a nice option IMO. I just got some in and will get them listed in the store soon. I will likely replace the UE diff listing with these, as they are superior to the UE 6 spider diffs IMO. I would speculate that they will be comparable in strength to the 8 spider setup, but less expensive and easier to build.

And for the record;

those HB gears are molded too, savage gears would fit too, but the HB crospins are from harder steel (hard chromed as well) than the ones for the savage.

The HB cup is tougher than tough. If it is bent or twisted, i am sure there is much more damage..

I can confirm the HB's are tougher than the UE 6spiders. It is the crappy pot-metal they are made from. The cup however is the same, it is a cup, which is used by Ofna, Kyosho and HB. You really can't tell the difference if you seen them next to eachother.

To me they are much more durible either you go with than the stock emaxx ones. :D

I am happy with the 6 spyder diffs.

[nitrostarter]

I stand firm behind CHC's last comment

I am happy with the 6 spyder diffs.

I don't see the 7XL destroying these anytime soon.........
