Will these diffs work in these bulkheads? - RC-Monster Forums

No I mean 9/51 is the pinion/spur gear combo I have to run with my current setup. Since I have stock Maxx diffs in it, I have to use a 9 tooth pinion on the motor and 51 tooth spur gear on the center diff. I think the Mugen MBX5-T diff's have a 10/43 pinion/ring tooth count, and I can run a 15 tooth pinion gear on the motor with my 51 tooth spur, so I don't need a tiny 9 tooth pinion on the motor.

yeah, we're on the same page. 9/51 spur/pinion isn't alot of tooth contact. If you're mechanically minded the LST diff swap is pretty easy and could save you lots of $$$.

Sorry, though you meant the pinion/ring tooth count of truggy diffs..

A few people have told me to do the LST2 diff swap, and I would, but I prefer the design of the hybrid bulkheads, where the diff case and bulkhead are all in one. Just seems stronger IMO.

To nitrostarter- My current setup is FLM combo bulkheads (like the hybrids, but hold Maxx diffs instead) with E-Maxx diffs with FLM aluminum diff cups, center diff with 51 tooth spur and 9 tooth pinion. Since I have added the center diff, I haven't had any front/rear diff problems, they seem to be holding up pretty good, but I want 1/8 diffs in it so that I have some more gearing options.
