I would recommend replacing the Cubs with the ones from the TA05. The factory ones are very brittle. The diffs have been pretty good for me. I use the plastic gears to save weight since I'm running 25.5 and 21.5 motors. If you sand the back if the bevels, sand be careful not to remove much material. I did on one if mine and it finally stripped out the internals. But totally user error. Rebuilt it track side with spare parts and have had zero issues since.
After a few runs, I don't see any leakage. What is there is just the residual fluid from the build.

In the end, half of the top 6 cars in the Amain were shaft drive Exotek packaged cars!
Thanks to everyone with their cheers and support! We had a good group of privateers, putting in a top effort and so- I plan to keep on developing more speed secrets for the Evo6 in order to maximize it potential

Running a shafty at the RROC brought back some good memories
Privateers for sure, only free thing we had was advice, should have listened to Max sooner on that front

Good eye Professor
TB04 aluminum pilot shaft, use the long shaft in the set, but it needs to be cut down to length of Evo 6 front shaft

This and other weight shaving without compromising durability, put my car at 1380g with 15g of weights added to meet minimum at Reedy tech

Why do you think this is not as popular?

Do you use a front direct coupling or a front one way? I am considering using a gear diff with 1M cst, that way I can use these:

Tried a diff with 2.5m cst
Spool front Ball-Diff rear was the best setup for my driving

These are the types of upgrades that manufacturers will never do that can turn your tb-EVO 6 into a real contender in all classes... Bravo, and I hope you keep finding more of these heavy parts and chop them down accordingly....
You can call your car the EVO 6.2(like my tc4.2) after that....lol....

Don't know why tires work best 2nd to 3rd run, new tires even after taking the seam off didn't make it any easier. I really liked the gear diff in front 2.5 million car went 3 tents faster. Ran 13.3's each round. Hard not to go back after that result. The EXO aluminum lower deck was part of the reason why I'm sure!

RedBull - I have never had luck with ball diff's but I ordered on to try out in the rear of the USGT car for weight savings related to the rotating mass (as well as the ARC outdrives, lightweight swing shafts, etc.)
Would you mind sharing build tips as well as diff setting techniques that you use for the rear diff?
