If you are referring to the same info i saw, he was referring to the extended wheel base arms, which are currently an option for the Revo.

I am curious though if the arms are going to be different. The bulkheads have likely changed to fit the new diff, so they must have had to re-engineer that interface also. Maybe these new bulkheads will make it easier to fit the 1/8 diff's in it now....Linc, get ready.....

My thoughts exactly. The new diff looks a bit wider and the diff case must be a bit bigger to fit the diff and the actuator arm in there, which appears to be bearing supported. Those bearing would most likely be the 8mm od bearings, and will take up some space. I will most likely pick up the summit (as long as the price is ok) and see if the lst diff cases will fit in there. That would make it easy, lst diffs are chaep on ebay and the bulks are about 6-8 bucks for a pair for the std revo (IIRC) so the summit ones will not be much different in price...
