Strongest Diff Pins

[jamesbea]

Does anyone know who makes the strongest diff pins? I am breaking the ones on mine and want to see if stronger ones would help. I know why I am breaking them, just wanting to see if I can get away with running this setup with stronger pins if they exist.

The size I am looking for is 2x10.8mm.

Thanks.

These came recommended on the forums in the past.

6S BLX would be 2.25mm and I believe the EXB is 2.5mm.

Would need to cut to length and chamfer the ends.

Some guys also take high-quality drill bits and cut them to be pins.

@Easttactics did a video on this ages ago, can’t remember what he used but he seemed to of solved the problem. You’ll have to go back a couple of years but it’s there somewhere. Funny enough it’s something I was going to look into reinforcing too so I’m going to have to look myself

Yeah it is a thing to use HS Steel drill bit "Blanks" or the shanks of bits. Just source the correct diameter and cut precisely to length. Like stated, Chamfer the edges well. If not, they will still take out the Sun gear. I use a dremel to make mine. I never broke one yet. Tedious work to do it right. The results are worth it.
FWIW, the advertised Dimensions of the Arrma OE crosspins don't truly match what the OE's actually are. The Standard 6s Open diff Pins. Use a caliper to measure what the stockers actually are.
There are No upgrade Brand pins that I know of. Throttling or braking hard under load or when landing some big air, usually takes them out quicker. Avoid that if you can.
