i've got a pair of rd logics aluminum diff cases and a pair of integy aluminum diff cups to go in my g2r. should i wait until i roast the stock diffs or should i go ahead and throw them in now? i'm running a 1950/8turn on 6s 20c lipo. the reason for asking is that the truck is almost fully assembled with blue locktite. i don't really feel like tearing it down unless these parts will make a nice difference. thanks, carl.

If i had them, i would put them in. If you haven't heard any grinding, might as well put them in. mine have not given me problems, though stock, but I'm only running a HV brushless. You on the other hand are running about 5 times the power i am, so i would

With lipos, your taking off some of the stress on the drivetrain, the stockers would hold for a while, but you might as well put in the better ones.

I can't say about the revo but in the maxx it made a difference.

I have heard about people running .28 to .32's with stock diffs and the only problems i had was with assenbly issues from the factory, if you got a good set they should do good, but if you got the good stuff and not using them, it could cost you about $12 an end if you blow them both.

Kind of related to this... Has anyone tried the RR Revo diff gears? Are they better than the stockers? I am rebilding my diffs. I blew out the rear last time I ran. I ran the 9XL on 6s Lipo and it didn't take long to blow the rear diff.(blew the side of the diff cup out) I'm going w aluminum cases, cups and am thinking about getting the RR gears. Are the RR gears worth the $40 a set, or am I just wasting $80 to do both sets. Will the alloy cups and cases be enough with stock gears if I shim them properly? Or are threr any other diff gear solutions that Im not considering?
