would you recommend using the pro spec diff with pom (delrin) outdrives in mod? or should we get the aluminum if we're running mod

thanks

Performance wise, I personally don't think there is huge difference between the aluminum and the POM outdrives. But it seems like the diff last longer with using the POM outdrive.
I have been using both for Mod and 10.5 and have had no problem at all.

You will be impressed how smooth the Pro-Spec Diff works.

Is it smoother then the normal diff?

Is it worth the money, or?

BlackedOutREVO,
yeah, it's definitely worth it.
For the Pro-Spec Diff, you don't have to tighten so the diff will be able to work way smoother.

1. Large Ceramic Differential Balls (3mm)
2. Bigger diameter for the holes on the pulley. (less pressure)
3. Bigger Differential Screw (2.6mm) with more thrust balls

Thanks,

As it is, I dont think I want my diff any looser, you can free spin mine, and the diff doesnt slip one bit

But I get what your saying, sounds nice! I will buy the diff kit when my current outdrives are no good anymore

So is this version of the Cyclone a replacement of the AME car?Is it the new High end spec sedan for HB?I have a brand new AME that I can just update or are there huge changes other then the diff?

Hebiki,it's cool to see you branch out to a different brand besides the Big T.The cyclone from the original black version have been super fast and is still fast and I like the idea of upgrading rather then replacing.Hopefully we get a Hotbodies series race up here sometime.

This is like the black cyclone, its just a cyclone

Hara, Moore will have there version soon im sure So no, it isnt replacing the AME

Theres nothing major that you cant upgrade, but I dont think the car will be any faster then the current cyclone
