New Flux diffs in a few weeks !

[Finnster]

I was reading on a big Savage site a while back about people using all sorts of truggy and other 1/8 diffs in their Savs w/o a whole lot of luck. It seems like there is some inherent weakness in the case design that allows otherwise strong gears to strip more easily. The flux does have "HD" cases, but IDK if it makes a difference. It could be the Losis are so good as they are already in their own cases. Losi is likely SAE bearings and won't work w/ metric housings.

I do like how the Losi diffs have their own cases, and I do believe that this contributes to the durability at least in some way (less prone to deforming under load or impact). The Losi bearings are Metric (8x16, I think). The bearings I have for my Hyper 7s fit on the pinion shaft and in the diff housing so unless there is a SAE size that is the same exact size as those bearings they are metric. The only SAE I know of on my Muggy is some 4-40 screws in places where the extra strength is needed (4-40 has a better thread than 3mm metric).
