In my car the 3racing blue diff blades last a long long time and my out drives last longer also. I think it's because they are harder.

Are you talking about the 3 Racing solid axle?? The cups on the 3 Racing spool kit appear to be spring steel....not sure.

Hmmmm... I found quite the opposite to be true. Although they do work and the price is right I found they were not near as strong as the HB blades. They tended to stretch on me and come off the CVD. Not right away but didn't last near as long as the HB blades. Kept them around for spares just in case but never needed them. Since they are cheap and HB blades have in the past been hard to get, a set of them would be great to have around in a pinch.

I've only used the 3racing blades with aluminum diffs, with some heat you can close them up tight on the pins and they don't come off.

The 3racing spool looks pretty good and I was wondering the same thing, if
the cups are steel I'm going to get one.

There you go, 3 bucks for 4 sets of blades, there plastic not derlin like the HB's one, but for the price of them, you can get 4 sets of them for almost the same price, and have 16 diff blades lol... Much better deal, and they work awesome!

I'll post some pics of the 3R spool kit tonight, it's still in the package.

Maybe you rubber tire guys can let me know if it's crap.

All you have to do is ream out the hole because the HB's CV pin is bigger

Much better for the price, and they last just as long
That's why I kept my TC5 blades and the car still has the orginal set we put on it with no signs of wear.

The V1 bones fit the 3Racing spool. If you had a black Cyclone then you have V1 bones.
