I would guess any regular 1/8 diff will fit really, the majority are the same dimensions essentially, just different teeth counts & spur designs ( teeth count is the important factor, and getting spares ofcourse ). Not sure about bearings, but I'd bet they are probably pretty common- the ID will be 5mm most likely, you can check the thickness and OD with some calipers, but I doubt it will be hard to find something suitable- loads of bearing retailers around..

8 x 16 x 5mm bearings fit the GS motor mount. If I were you, I'll just buy some replacement bearings from Avid. They're only $1 apiece.

Ofna CD will fit that mount. I test fitted them before using the GS storm buggy given by Shawn a few years ago.

Great! Lito adding a third 8 gear spider diff would be bling and tough and convenient but the price tag is alittle high. Does it have 46t? CLICK That is not a bad price for that diff. But I wonder if could buy this CLICK

It's not worth the money spent on it.

If I were you, I'd buy this instead:

I agree with that suggestion... you don't need to spend a whole lot of money on Diffs these days.... good deals on ofna spiders/hobao diffs pop up on ebay quite frequently...

Kcaz25 · 01.11.2011, 07:16 PM

Oh yes! That is a sweet deal. Tell me is that an 8gear setup? I have 6gear now and its lasted I don't know how long, I'm like the third owner. Thanks fellas.

But but Alien your spider diff looks sooo cool. I guess the question posed to me is: Is "sooo cool" worth 50 bucks? lol

George16 · 01.11.2011, 08:07 PM

The one I posted is a 6 gear diff. As long as they're shimmed properly, they will last long. I still have to break any 6 spider diff I ever had.

Thanks Zack, but I just don't think it's worth the spend... besides, when the body goes on, you can't see it

What was your first plastic bodied diff? It leaked right?

ANGRY-ALIEN · 01.11.2011, 08:54 PM

Yes it was... and yes it did... but it was a old used LX one diff... not remotely close to the build quality of the recommended diff...

What "Brand" Diff are you using now Zack? Maybe you can just order a Nova-RC Cup like I did....I think it Sooo cool!

Edit:If it is a Storm... Maybe they can use the same cup as another Brand...

Okay. I'll order the ofna diff off Ebay. Thanks for the tips guys. It'll be good to get it that cheap. I can't believe how cheap it is. It makes me want to buy two.

Thats right Zippy. I loled at your "sooo cool" Its a storm. I would actually like to have a whole new unit mainly because the storm as far as I know isn't supported and the oil is looking like it is soiled with tiny metal glitter (microscopic gear bits). Its not that its not strong. Its just getting old as in a lot of runtime on it. Good suggestion though. And perhaps one day I'll want Nova on that plastic ofna diff for easy bling. I like your truck BTW.

My cousins from Georgia and I are practicing at a track on Saturday. My truck is getting premium treatment right now. Picture time will come. It should be look sick. Expect this event to take place Thursday night. lol The purple fan will be no more. I should mention snoopmaxx and I are promising each other all out bash vids in the coming days so that should be cool as well.

That is what I did as well. I bought a new 8ight-T diff off ebay for about $20. Then just swapped all the goodies into the Nova Cup. It was cheaper to buy the complete unit than to buy spider gears and the spur (gotta love ebay)... Yes, I like the Bling it adds. But I did happen to break that plastic cup too somehow; and that is what sold me... Looking forward to your bash vid...

Cool stuff Sean.

I discovered something very "duh" today while working on my truck. The battery lies a good bit lower if I turn it on its side because it is such a tall battery. Will it hurt it with all the cell's edges being on the tray?
