Diff question for 6s kratons

[Steveoarrma517]

Can I turn old open diffs to limited slip using old open diff cases or well i need whole new diff with limited slip installed.

If by old you mean the 31mm, then yes, you’ll will need the entire 29mm LSD unit. Parts are not interchangeable.

LSD’s are not all that, if you ask me. The bigger pins are a plus, but I prefer the 31mm diffs and the ability to tune them with different fluid viscosities. If I were a track guy, I might like the LSD’s, but for bashers I’ll take the “old” open diffs any day.
Many would disagree, I’m sure.

I run the new 29mm diffs with ring washers instead of LSD plates. The best of both worlds.

I like the abbreviation for the diffs, it brings back warm memories of my youth.

You and I had very different youths. That or rwd stick shifts also bring you warm fuzzies.

Yes they do. I've been a hot rod lover all my life.

I think the newer LSD diffs are better due to having larger internals, but I run mine in open mode on almost all my rigs. On a side note if the old originals are shimmed correctly and tuned with your favorite oil they are just as good I believe on a second side note the Corally diffs are better than both the Arrma versions in my opinion and it’s a shame they won’t fit in Arrma’s..!!

My youth predates the popularity of pills. All we had was pot, acid, low grade beer, and Ozzi.

Back on subject, I just broke a cross pin in my rear 29mm diff. The Vitavon gear that sits on top of it doesn't even have a scratch on it. Vitavon diff gears are a recommended product.

Ring washers.
The different shim set ARA311094 contains 6 heavy washers. These thick washers are used in substitution for the LSD plates to convert a 29mm diffs from LSD to open.
