I would get the arrma aluminum diff case if you're talking about the case and not the F&R bulkheads. My reasoning for getting the arrma one is because of the gaskets.

I bought this, Gonna fit it tomorrow to the centre. Is it a good idea to change all 3 to these?

Will this fitt all 3 diff?

 

[Starfox2005]

Not quite understanding what your wanting to do but yes you can change all three diff cases to this. Assuming it's not an EXB.

Yeah wondering if the red aluminum Arrma diff case will fit all 3? Just fitted it to the centre diff. Mines a new V5 6S model which I believe is not the exb? is that right?

 

[Starfox2005]

Yes it should work with all three diffs.

 

[no1zeppelinfan]

Great, thanks. I'll order another 2 sets.

 

[Starfox2005]

Sounds cool. In theory as long as they are the same size and QC isn't messed up you can use them on all three of your diffs. Make sure to shim your diffs properly.

Brilliant, Pretty sure I have. Soon find out later when I have a little drive, let you if all is well

 

[no1zeppelinfan]

Drives brilliantly, so much faster as well I think? Time to order the parts for the front and back diffs. So happy lol. So what strength do you recommend on front and rear? Put 300k in the centre. Thanks so much, everyone for your help. Really appreciated.

Changing to an aluminum diff case will not increase your top speed. It will help with extra durability and the ability to dissipate heat quickly.

I don't use the Alloy bulkheads. I run 6s. Alloy Bulkheads do come with other issues. Snapped screws etc. Bricks the whole HR Bulkhead. And they are Costly for sure. The stocker bulkheads are so inexpensive. I have spares. But generally never need them. Many just use the alloy Bulkhead at the rear end, where it serves more strength best IMO. HR's. I do use the HR Sway bar brackets on my Kraton. Stiffens the sway bar better than the composite stockers. Many only use the HR Bulkhead cover attached to the stocker plastic Bulkhead. Stiffens the stockers up enough for some. Saving some major coin.
GPM, HR, and Vivaton are a few to consider.
If talking about the diff cup/carrier, I only use the Arrma ones. And mostly at the Center. Depends on the rig. Not all of my 6s rigs need them I feel. If anything definitely at the center. The Arrma metal diff. I feel much better than the HR version.

Good to know. Yeah I've bought and installed the Red Arrma one in the centre so far, Do you think it's worth putting them in the front and rear as well? I run 4s batteries at the moment.

 

[Starfox2005]

We are talking about the internal case.

Yeah, the red actual Differential case that houses all the gears/cogs.

 

[SrC]

Yeah, Get the Arrma version.
Below is for the standard open diffs.

If using EXB 29mm diffs, i think it is still on back order.
