Default Savage FLUX Bomb Proof Diff setup- TiNi Coated gears, 7075 diff cup

I was planning to build an ultimate Savage FLUX and wanted the strongest diff for it. I have TiNi coated most of the drivetrain parts and modded maximizer 7075-T6 diff Cups. It was not easy as not many shops would run a small batch as the cost per run is really expensive. It was not cheap either as I had I to pay hundreds dollars to get these and some other parts coated with Ti-Ni. The ring gear and pinion alone cost me almost $35!

However, sadly I have to let these go as I am in need of cash for another project

I guess I dont have to elaborate any further about Ti-Ni coating. Its extremely hard surface and good corrosion resistance, the same coating used on most drill bits. I tried rubbing the pieces with sand paper and surprisingly no scratch at all! So I am sure this things can really last!

All parts are brand new and never used/installed:

a) Machined TiNi Ring Gear and pinion: $85 shipped OBO



b) Maximizer 7075-t6 aluminum diff cup
They have been modified to accept the 8mm bearing so that you can have same bearing for both ring and diff cup.
This cup cost me $50 each and they are super rare. This by far the best design because the slot for the cross shaft is machined straight and this give you much more contact area than any other cups in the market. : $75 shipped for 2 OBO
