Shalom, no hard feelings from the other thread.

That being said, I am running a FD of 9.75 in 64p. To me, the car feels faster than it did when I ran 9.4 FD with 48p...anyone have any suggestions as to why? Same set-up, just changed the gears.

I've been using the Kyosho diff hardware from their Stallion. It's bullet proof.
You will have to drill out the halfs due to the larger screw dia. and will have to grind about 1mm off the thread end so that it doesn't jam up the axle blade. It also requires a 1.5mm washer under the nut retainer.
The Kyosho part #'s are:


TF120---- Diff Screw (with two nuts)
BRG100--- Thrust Brg (Balls/washers)
UM124---- Spring (I think original HB spring may work)
TF113---- Nut Retainer ( this is a full tree of parts that has to bought just for the nut retainer)


I believe this to be the ultimate fix (unless you want to go with the Xray hardware). It's about 20 bucks in parts and like I said it's bullet proof AND there's a slot in the screw head just the like old one which allows for easy adjustments.


I haven't tried this with plastic diffs.

Default Um, no

Um.......no. Just saying peace. I have a relationship with the supreme one, but since you are conscious, you can pray for yourself.

I believe these are the Cyclone S arms. Plastic is not as stiff.

HPI released a low traction arms set for the Pro 4 about 2 or 3 years back. Not sure if they are still in production, but they were extremely cheap, $10 or £6 for a full set (yes 2 front and 2 rear).

Low traction arms are still available in the market. It flexes more but breaks easily compared to the carbon composite.
