There are two diffs for the Yokomo BD5 that work in the TC6, one from Yokomo and one from Spec-R. I can't say for certain that the same modification is required for each but it should be.

First, the Spec-R diff is slightly too wide which means you will need to modify the main diff bearing holder so that the diff will fit. There should be a description of this mod in the Keven Hebert/TC6 question forum. You can also turn the diff in a lathe and remove material where the main bearings ride. I don't even think the need a lathe. If you can spin the diff (drill press or dremel?) you can sand the material away. You don't have to remove much.

Second, the drive cup is too small for the AE bone. Some people modify the dog bone or you can grind the cup (this is better). It does not take much to make the bone fit.



Blades.
can i use the AE gear diff in TC5R?
