Anyone having Savage diff problems? - RC-Monster Forums

the main problem with the savage diffs is that there is flex in the plastic housings. I can imagine the larger teeth to hold up better in these plastic housings.

I have run the stock diffs, the ones with the steel inserts and the aluminum cups, with a 1521 for a while now. They are bullet proof! No problems even with running larger, gear destroying tires like Big Joes and Jumbo Kongs. Innovative-RC is coming out with an alloy easy access diff case with larger bearings that should even solve the small bearing problem.

Nice I didn't know that. That sounds awesome. Innovative make some awesome gear so these should be great.

Do youknow anythimg about the timing on these? The access part is nice, but with bigger brgs, you shouldn't need to access it much anymore!

Serum is right on - flex is the biggest prob with stock setup, 27picco was enough to destroy rear diff regularly til upgraded with alum cup, alum diff cases and bulks. I used some prem brgs (boca) and they've been fine so far.

The last time i heard was that he canceled the plan since it cost too much for the machining. Not sure if he changed his mind..
