These are a lot more reliable that the ones in the pro diff. Let me have a sort out and I'll see how meny I have
Justin; you would have to change over to an old style drum diff in order to use the hex-diff halves as they won't work just substituting them into a Pro-Diff. The comp-spec Pro Diff uses alloy outputs that have no key-ways at all - they rely on the friction between the two parts. I was lucky enough to abtain one of these diffs from CAT3K which along with a good condition Sport diff I was able to build one good part.



I've got say that this is one of the best buggy ball diffs I ever built - so smooth & free & at the same time, no slip... a complete revelation compared with the MMS/Schumacher Hex diff I had previously fitted. So far i've only done two race meetings with the car - one with an 8.5 & then the last week with a 6.5 brushless - but the diff held out fine & still feels smooth.... which is better than I could achieve with my old Atomic Carbon Losi CR2
