I have them on my BL Revo. Before I got them I was rebuilding broken diff parts almost every time I ran. Since getting these I havent had a single problem. They are the best Revo upgrade ever made. Worth every penny IMO.

I run mine with the adapters for the stock revo sliders. If you use the adapters for the stock slider driveshafts, you can drop them right into the bulkheads just like a stock diff. Its a little tighter fit but they do just drop in. If you run them with conventional outdrive cups for CVDs you will need to split the bulks to get them in, not a big deal, just a little more work to get them in and out.

I say do it. Rebuilding the diffs is a PITA which you will be doing frequently in a high power big block or BL setup.

Also as far as the price goes... Keep in mind that you are getting a complete hardened HB Diff and Pinion which are $62 by themselves, really the custum machined diff cases are only $63. When you see them you will see that $63 for the custom machined case is actually very fair price. lots of work went into to machining it, let alone the design and development of them.

One thing to keep in mind is that they do change your gear ratio from the stock ratio. The stock ratio is 2.84 (13/37)and the 1/8 are either 3.3(13/43) or 4.3 (10/43) depending on which gear set you select.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly

I to am running the adapters and stock shafts, Very easy to install and the stockers work fine. The same thing can be applied to UE diffs, I have a set on my Gmaxx with stock shafts and no leaks and workd fine


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

OK great to ear, but should i take the 13/43 or the 10/43??
Anyways, i'll have to play with clutch bell to find the good ratio.
If i take the 13/43, i probably to run a bigger pinion with a smaler spur, right?

Ok so my question is: If I do go with 13/43 buggy ratio what tooth pinion will I need to run to keep the stock ratio? Or maybe someone has an idea of a good ratio to run. I am going to be running a neu 1515 2.5d with a quark 125b, and then the 1/8th scale diffs(13/43), what tooth pinion and spur should I run?

Thanks,
Josh
