Default Hyper 7 Pro Diffs

I've had a problem with stripping the front diff.... I know you can do that with landing with too much thorottle but I have made sure that I didn't do that.... And if I did it still doesn't void my question.

It seems like The H7 series is a overlooked buggy for option parts... I don't see myself buying an Xray or Mugen anytime soon for the upgradablity, but I want to know, does anyone build a titanium or aluminm diff with titanium gears inside for the H7 Pro?
Anybody that specializes in option parts like Kingheadz?

Thanks,
Michael

I've been running the hyper7 series cars for almost 3 years and never striped a diff gear

No offense, but what are you doing wrong? that's the question
Do you have them shimmed right?

I could have them mis shimmed..... The when I recieved the buggy it came with one metal spacer at the end of each of the spurs so 4 total in it..... Can anyone point me to the size spacer and gears to buy to shim correctly?

The hyper diffs are pretty durable, is it the inner gears stripping ? if so shims wont help, maybe the seal is loose .. you do have oil in them ? If you want a front diff that takes a pounding get a Torsen front diff.. they last ages.. Ofna distribute one, just as good as the fioroni IMO.. they just dont look anywhere near as nice.. about 60 US on ebay

If its your crown gear stripping then you may have a shim problem, it could also be your diff housing. check the whole assembly is in tack , if you have some screws loose your housing wont hold the diff in place..

Hope this helps..
