i'm going with the Vitavon aluminum diff housing/bulkhead. its a 1 piece design so the bulkhead and diff housing are one piece. i use them on my dbxle 2.0 and just ordered them for my dbxl 2.0 i'm picking up wednesday. they are more expensive at 180 each but i looked into the Atop diff housings and they are like 115. i also ordered the vitavon aluminum diff cups to.
I ended up ordering the ATOP and got them for $89 off Amazon. Money is tight and I just want to get it rolling again. Just waiting for the fuel tank to show up and she'll be ready to go again.
@@GussCustomCreations My car is the electric 2.0 version but I’m sure the gearboxes are the same. The quality is very good but the larger inner bearing sold it for me. I was told the reason the plastic gearboxes melt is because the inner bearing gets extremely hot. The larger inner bearing is supplied with the gearbox when you buy them
hey buddy, ive just bought the same dibby as you (magnaflow) ive purchased a few upgrades already: FID arms/hubs all around, Alloy Engine Mount / Alloy Clutch Carrier, 8k clutch spring / Losi Tuned Pipe / im also wanting the Alloy Chassis Braces, but having trouble finding ones that fit the 2.0 Gas version. I spoke to the guys at Vitavon and they said they are in the pipeline but at present they do not make them, same with FID/Atop. All thats available at present in terms of aluminium hop ups is the A-Arms / Engine Mounts / Hubs / & Diff cases / Clutch carrier for the 2.0 Gas version & there is also a carbon fibre radio tray, which i was going to buy until i read that it only fits shorty lipos so i [assed. In terms of ATOP / FID ..personally i prefer the FID stuff, defo has a much better finnish than ATOP (silver) but FID is more expensive than the ATOP stuff ;)
cool rc and upgrades,great video and information
Thanks 👍
Fid or atop. Those solved my diff problems. I have one of each. They're pretty much the same thing.
Oh yeah I forgot about the ATOP. I have some of their parts in my Baja. Thanks man!

Ive just bought the Vitavon gearbox houses as they are 7075 aluminium and the inner bearing is much bigger to take the load that these cars generate.
Thanks for the information. I think vitavon is what I will have to go with. I appreciate it 👍

@@davemorris6747 yeah they use the same gear box so it will fit. That's what mine looks like heat and stress.
Ha! This very thing just happened to mine last weekend. The heat is too much. For the plastic housings.
Are these still worth buying? On the fence about getting one
I think so. Mine has been pretty reliable and it's a blast to drive.
Good update Gus. I like the hilantronics Hercules servos for 1/5 scale. Sold at Detroit performance rc
Thanks man I will check them out
