Kraton Diffcase: Do I need those screws? lol

[Wes Crackin]

Noticed while rebuilding my Kraton onto an M2C chassis and shock towers that the two threads (see picture) that attach to the red plate with Arrma logo cutout completely broke off. Anyone know if these are important? Don‘t really want to replace the diff housing if not necessary. Would‘t have noticed if it weren‘t for the rebuild..

Yes they are necessary as it provides structural integrity to the front of the vehicle. And sadly as you beef up other parts of the truck the gearboxes start to take more and more of the brunt of the force. At one point I would break at least one every time I went out.

Nah, in the back this attaches to the little plastic link that attaches to the wingmount..
