Status: offline 		To properly convert to the XL you need the following items

XL TVPs
XL rear center dogbone
XL/Flux Diff cups
XL Ext drive cups (the ones pictured above with the purple spacers)
XL/Flux axles
XL motor plate (not necessary tho)

Thats everything needed to convert to XL. If you upgrade to the ext drive cups you WILL need the diff cups and axles. There is no way around this, the X axles will bind and fall out

Status: offline 		Just buy some Flux / XL BP diff bulks off ebay, or look at the XL manual and use them.
Best bet is to get flux or newer XL bulks with BP diffs, 29/9 and not the 43/13.
They will come with the larger diff cups either way.

That's a good point; I didin't think about the cups since I installed BP diffs anyhow.  If you use the 29/9 gearset then everything will match up and you should never have diff issues.
