Can anyone tell me what if any upgrades there are to the diff ring gear and pinion for the IGT2. I have the stock helical ring/pinion gear which I stripped during last race.
I am told that the straight diff ring/pinion gear from the MP777 (KYOIF106/KYOIF21) work better than the stock IGT2 gears. I would apperciate if anyone can share their experience in solving this issue.

The ring and pinions that you mentioned are the right part #s too.
Just shim it properly and you will be bullet proof
Wanna go even further you can replace the bevel shafts in the diff to
they are titanium.

Used in the Evolva RRR on road gas car but fit in the inferno Diffs. Lighten your diffs, this is a hot mod that is little know about. Replace the steel bevel shafts for these in your diffs. One of the heaviest items in your car are the diffs. Anything you can do to lighten them will lower rotating mass and improve acceleration.
I also ad a lttle CA glue to the 4 diff screws to prevent them from backing out
Hope this helps...GL

Thats true they are cheaper but I see the internals on the ofna diffs break all the time. Kyosho diffs hurt the pocket more but are bullet proof as long as they are shimmed right, and at the track durability is a must. But if you have had GL with them I say Great
Quality parts ofton cost more and not all Kyosho parts are cough cough Quality but in this case it is true.
I am all for less expensive parts but finding quality cheaper can be kinda hard but thanks for the input
