What's the DIFFerences here

[Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal]

Other than spur tooth count what's different between all these 6s center differentials?

The bottom right costs the most…….

The EXB one has LSD plates, and the outdrive shank has a bigger diameter……not sure about the rest.

All 3 the smooth cup ones are BLX, no difference between them internally, just the one has a smaller spur.
The 2 top ones are identical.

The EXB one is different, case is smaller,so you can only use EXB spurs, a regular BLX 46 or 50t pinion will not work, however outdrive shafts and pins that hold the diff crownwheels are thicker, so they tend to be more reliable.

I believe the outcast one is a limited slip diff but someone still correct me if I'm wrong.

EXB ones usually are, indeed.
But it could be they are open, as I see no mention of LSD (and the price seems quite low for the LSD version)

I would go to Jennys RC and search 'Arrma center diff 6s' and buy there vs whatever site(s) those were from, if it were me. AFAIK the $20 Typhon one is the same as the $23 Kraton one. It is even the same as the $40 Infraction/Felony ones other than the different-sized spur, from what I can tell in the Arrma and Horizon exploded views.

I just bought a few a month ago in fact.

The price?

The EXB center diff is the limited slip. I bought one from Jenny's RC for my Typhon. it was about the same price.

That is JRC. Thanks for the replies.

From a very simplistic view EXB work with EXB platform. I’m 99.9% sure the remainder will work interchangeably with any of the 6s platform. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

BLX diffs are open and have 5mm outdrives, EXB uses a proprietary case and gears, can be open or have LSD, and has 6mm outdrives

Just bought one for a brushless conversion, guess which one I bought haha.
