Titanium Diff gears and pins would be awesome or a pozi lock like they have for the 5B would be cool to. What do u guys think ?

im not to sure about the titamuim diff gears. im not sure if it would sell as its not a part that wears quickly or at all. tho the locked spool would be awsome. hopefully they would come with inset drive cups. to elimanate the pin. vertigo makes one for the 5b. maybe we should drop them a line would make for great drifting.

well one of the pieces from the big gears or the pin broke a tooth off one spider gear. I put it back in just one tooth missing ran it last night for 1/2 a tank and is working good so far. My 30.5 will be here in the next 2 days hope it still holds then.

Ya I don't think the gears are a problem at all. I was f#$%^ furious one day cause a post jumped in my way and broke yet another diff case. Just because I'm self destructive, I lifted my truck waist high off the ground, revved it to WOT and dropped it. I broke 1 rear outdrive shaft clean, fractured the shit outta the other rear outdrive shaft. I landed a little on the rear side so the fronts were still OK. So I did it again but made it land on it's nose. I broke 1 front outdrive shaft, fractured the other front outdrive, and broke the left front axle drive cup on the wheel side not the diff side. I've had plenty of single breakages too. Not as many as Moo but enough. The point is, I have yet to bust a spider gear or a bevel gear. I think the only reason guys have broken them is because the outdrive shaft and/or pin would shatter and metal would jam up in there either busting gears or causing a diff explosion like Moo's
