....HOT BODIES HARDENED DIFF LIGHTNING C8178 or

OFNA DIFFERENTIAL HYPER 9 29116

which would you prefer for an EMBL with 6S ?

Thanks for any input:D

Same answer I gave you over at RC-monster: just get a Hyper 7/8/8.5 diff. A lot cheaper and as durable as the Hot Bodies. I have used both diffs and there wasn't any huge difference except for the price. You can get the Hypers on Ebay for $30 a pair plus shipping.

By the way, I'm have a gorilla maxx running on 6S with the MMM ESC and Tekno CR 1515 1Y motor. I still have to break my diffs even with my standing single or double flips.

Hi george16,

thanks for your advice, apparently you are the only one who cares.
Unfortunately I didnīt find any hyper 7/8/8.5, neither in online shops, nore on the "bay". I only found those 9ers and, a nice deal for the HBīs( $34).So I decided to go on with these:)

Thanks anyway!

If you can get thos eHB's for $34, I'd say go for it. The hyper 9's are a bit larger compared to the 7/8/8.5's.

Good luck on your build. You can pm me in Rc-monster too if you have any questions. I have the same username over there and I frequent RC-monster more compared to this board.

I went with the Hot Bodies Lightning hardened differentials and haven't had any problems at all on 6S.

I have the Hot Bodies diffs in my MMM Emaxx, but I havn't run it yet, so no feedback! They feel nice and smooth though.

The Hinge pin does not fit rear lower bulkhead but FLM include long lower pin !

Yes sorry I checked too quickly :o

The 3801 Lunsford kit includes four 74mm, two 65mm and two 60mm pins.
If you use FLM hybrid bulks (front and rear) you need four 74mm and four 65mm pins. So you need two kits.
But as samintrepid said FLM includes 65mm hinge pins with their bulks :) So one kit is enough.

Quick question. If I use Buggy differential with FLM hybrid bulkhead, can I still use stock drive shaft? Or should I change it to some dog bone style shaft, if so which model?
