Has anyone tried the maximizer differentials? If so, what do you think of them?

Well I for one havent heard of these.. could you give us a link to spark our interest?

Ok, here you go [link=http://www.maximizerproducts.com/Diffs.html]Maximizer diffs[/link]. They have 3mm screws holding the ring gear to an aluminum cup, seems to be a way better set up then the stock ones in my tmaxx, and they have ones for the savage as well.

They look sweet! But.............

Will they just push the damage onto something else?????????????

Maximizers are good diffs. 2 things to remember that you probably know, always shim the setup properly and the cups need to have 3mm screws to avoid shearing them off with the big block conversions and the big hits on landings. UE 7.5's are good and so are the [link=http://www.kippster-racing.com/]Kippster[/link] Racing.

Matster, right now the diffs are my weak link, and are constantly breaking. I'm tired of replacing them, and I want something strong but not too expensive. I already have cvds, steel spur, steel/alum tranny gears, and alum drive hexes.

Stretch, The maximizers come with 3mm screws, or are you saying I should replace the included screws before I install the diffs? Also, I think the diffs at kippster ARE the maximizers (though I could be wrong). UE diffs are totally awesome and totally more than I want to spend, thanks though.

Unless something has changed, Kippster still makes their own diff cups. They are the ORIGINIAL stock metal diff cup replacements, all the others that have popped up are nothing more than copies of the Kippster.

jefx, no I was just babbling on. The included 3mm screws are what you want. I've heard nothing but good about Maximizer and Kippster. More importantly you need to shim them properly or it won't matter what they are made out of. What engine are you using? 15, 18, 21?

I'm running a Sirio 18 with a MS filter, Big Bore pipe and GA 3-shoe alum clutch.

I had the sirio 18 with the pipe, ran it fully decked out but didn't ever have to rebuild the stock diffs.
Only started to have the problem once I went to the 21 conversions. Or unless you are an extreme basher.

Actually, the last one I broke was a fairly new RRP diff, while I was running in a parking lot. Not bashing at all, no jumps or even wheelies, just trying to adjust the shift point on my new 2-speed (my old 2-speed wore out and wouldn't shift anymore).
