I'd be inclined to go with the arrma ones... but currently, I have neither. It's been a year, guessing my outcast is due for some diff maintenance. lol

We’re not talking about the diff cup as I have the Arrma ones on order, it the actual housing/casing or bulkhead whatever you want to call it!

You don't need the diff case if you get the bulkheads. I just run the stock diff case with the hr bulkhead solid as a rock

They serve two different functions though. Getting the bulkhead won't stop the plastic diff cup from flexing or warping/melting due to heat. The aluminum diff cup won't stop the plastic bulkhead from cracking and breaking.

Both probably better but not necessary. Easy to just pop in a built Jenny's diff?
Totally different!
I’m going for the arrma diff cups for more strength and heat dissipation.
As for the housings yes mainly they are cosmetic and if anything the added weight isn’t helpful but compare to my other RC I find the Arrma plastic quite weak in theses areas and the threads don’t give me much faith.
Just done a check of the screws in my Typhon and found a few chassis screws 1-1.5 turns loose and more annoying three of the screws holding the side guards are fully stripped from factory

Aluminum cases and Arrma Alum. cups? If I did that to my Noto with everything I have on it and the chassis I'm wanting and I'm looking at a motor upgrade a lot sooner than planned. That's some weight. I haven't even built my Arrma cup because of how heavy it is. I still might, but it's hefty.
