Long time battle with metal diffs

[madJUBES]

I've been working on this 1/18 torment, as we all know there is no sure drop in metal diff upgrade layout.
Vattera diffs do fit inside diff housing but drive axles have hard to find/make outdrives with hard to find bearings specs

If the Carisma diffs were still available they would be the best solution as they are 100% drop in.

They are still available. I got a link on this forum somewhere and ordered it months ago. Straight from carisma site

Carisma GT14 B metal gear worked for me months ago.

I like the adjustable links you have. Where did you find those ?

I have those carisma gears also. I packed it with 1mill oil and now can't back out the screws out of plastic differential. It's so tight in there that it almost feels like it has "limited slip differential ". Those arms are wltoy/xks a859

When I ordered mine they came with a different case, i haven’t had an issue taking it apart. I have about 4-5 times since it’s been put together with some TLR Hi-Pressure Black Grease. I did have to rub the back side of my outdrive gears on some fine sandpaper in order to relieve that super tight fit and it’s ran pretty smooth since.

The complete diffs are out of stock https://carisma-shop.com/products/gt14-b-metal-gear-diff-set I only found 1 at some hobby shop in Italy.

The internal gears are still available, but that still leaves the crown and pinion gears as plastic.
