No idea I just bought them because I liked the look of them and they're fairly cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 My thinking is when putting a lot of power through the diff., you're forcing the gears against each other. If the cup is a little flexible, which the plastic COULD BE, then it might cause the gears to skip from time to time, which could prematurely wear or even chip them. Basically I think this is one area that needs to be as strong as possible. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vimto2000 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Didn't click on the link before... That is an excellent price for two. If that was the price for one, not sure if I would pay the extra as the HD ones have more than stood up to what I do to my RC! But at that price I would definitely get a set next time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I would like to go and test them out but it seems that the weather has different ideas Edited September 17, 2016 by supersavage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Gave it a little test out the front of the house and it seems to handle much better but didn't really find out how much. Next upgrade I intend to get is some better servos and I may get rid of the stock spektrum TX and RX and install my Futaba one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Don't forget the Associated MGT servo saver springs - stronger than the Losi ones. I put a total of 846 oz in torque through my Raminator - 2x 423 oz in servos - and they just turned the savers not the wheels! Fine now.

If I remember, they come as part of the complete servo saver. Don't worry, not expensive. Do some Googling, as Associated seem to have known about this and have developed it for different servos, so check the one you get has the correct teeth count for your servos.

supersavage Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Went to the park with the LST to Test the new diff cases and oils, handles much better and discovered that I can now drive it on 2 wheels which was fun until I noticed that it was at the cost of my tyres. It also becomes extremely "twitchy" after going over rough ground at high speed but I think thats due to the poor stock servo saver springs. But first impressions are very good Has anyone good wheel and tyre combo recommendations? I have the Losi 17mm hex conversion already so that shouldn't be an issue.
