What are you breaking on the diff case?

Look online/ebay for aluminum TC3/NTC3/TC4 diff cases. Sometimes they are listed/described as blueprinted cases.

Found a link to an online store that has some (as an example). I have never used this site, so I cannot guarantee that they are reputable. (http://www.rdlogics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=81381&type=store)

I have personally seen aluminum diffs cases and installed some of these cases on a NTC3 that I was helping someone to sell. I have never raced with them, but you may have an issue of breaking off screws in the aluminum case versus breaking/stripping the plastic case.

Hope this info helps.

Iceman, When I raced Nitro a few years ago at Classic i made my own little like X brace, out of 3 little pieces of steel and some jb-weld

Are you guys running foams or rubber?

What is breaking on the diff case? On the pastic cases, I put heli-coils in all the holes since the rebuilds wear out the threads quick. Don't use aluminum screws except for the 6 holes that couple the two halves.

I have some TC3 aluminum diff cases(Not sure if they are Nitro), $25 shipped and they can be yours.
