Nice comparison pics. I have a Vorza diff for the center diff in my new build but your making me think that I should try them for front\rear as well.

Only concern I have is the screws backing out as someone else mentioned. When I put my Vorza center diff together I used some slightly longer screws I had spare and they did up nice and tight. The screw holes in the case were much longer than the default screws if I remember correctly. This should also help the case flex less but as you say it is already very rigid.

cheers jason

dv, honestly i found the screws stiffer to get out of the plastic cup rather than the alloy cup. i had some bad experiences with my alloy cups and screws backing out! i believe these plastic ones could cure my problems. fingers crossed

So how is this working for you? I just blew out the rear diff today. Basically it looks like just pick up vorza diffs and replace the outdrives with the savage one's and bolt up the ring gears?

Thanks.

Can't believe I missed this thread (altho my Sav has been in peices for about a year...)

The only thing left I didn't like about the sav diff after the BP gears came out was the spiders. Actually ate more of those than ring gears. Very nice upgrade. Great write up

Got into my diff and it's actually fine, what broke was the right side outdrive cup at the pin. Since I'm using flm XL bulks I need the specific outdrive, not the ones that come with the diff. I'm using the super hd outdrive but had to assemble the diff in the bulk, lol, hope another one dosent break.

Has anybody else used this setup from Fastlane? http://www.fastlanemachine.net/prodd...iew=all&cat=22

My question is about the outdrives pictured, what else works? The Heavy duty Flux outdrives wont work because of the way the bulks go together, the holes are too small for the Flux HD outdrives. It appears the one's pictured are the only one's that will work, the problem is they break where the little pin goes in to drive the sun gears.

Is there an alternative?

Thanks.

I guess your only option is to buy the outdrive from FLM. Dont see any other option since the ball size of the dogbone is 11mm..
