What about these, I ran them in my Losi truggy for...ever and they are great. Now what cup for the Savage and still being able to use the 8x16 bearing's? Kyosho's and who has the strongest spiders?

They designed the HPI aluminum cup to accept the 10x16 for a reason. The HPI ring gear uses the 8x16 because it is steel, not aluminum. The only way to build a strong aluminum cup for the savage is to put a steel end cap on it, IMO. Can someone please prove me wrong . . . I would love to be wrong on this one.

What size bearing did the cup in your Losi use? If it was an 8x16, then my guess is the diff shaft was smaller in diameter to allow for a thicker wall on the cup. Just a wild guess here because I've never owned a Losi.

The Losi bearing is 8x14x4 flanged. I'm interested in this because I have decided to build a Savage from the ground up, so far I have a trans and RPM arms and a 1717 for the motor.

The other thing I was thinking was this.

and this.

Or keep it simple and use these, I don't see these failing any quicker than 8x16's..
