Honestly I dont know of any MT manufacturer that puts aluminum diff cups in their trucks, the problem with the original LST was the diff case's were cracking nothing to do with the diff housings. Losi is one of the only MT manufacturers to put aluminum diff cases in their truck, the LST2. What about the aluminum housings is such a big deal? Just curious.

Alum diff case wont flex as readily as plastic will. A plastic diff case (the outer) can flex and allow the gears to go out of mesh, then CRUNCH new crown and pinion thanks... Alum wont flex as easily and will hold things together better. Thats how i see it anyway

So the problem with the LST1 was with the ring and pinion? Not the spider gears?

No. The problem with the LST was that the diff cases flexed, causing the mesh of the ring and pinion to get messed up, causing them to strip.
