Sand dune in my diff case.....

I put longer screws in the stock diff boxes after I tore off the front diff front 2 screws they might of just came loose. Holds up fine now. The diff mod and a t bone bumper will defiantly need longer screws since we got less threads. You should no problems after that.I'm also waiting on the chassis to buy the boxs.

Yes you do! :eek:

I couldn't resist new iPhone is on its way:D
 
I have not put the mod plate on my xbe yet. I spent a while getting the cups just right so the dog bone won't pop out under normal speed runs. I don't jump much but I crash enough and it stays in.

Do you like the way the xbe handles with the raised diff, I would think it would be better? Or is there even much difference at all? I hope the xbe chassis is in the works soon. I refuse to buy the kershaw mount only to replace it in a few months.

Haven't seen a noticable differentence in the handling, if you put both diffs side by side, the original has 2 to rasied edges, so by fitting the mod plate you are really just putting the 7075 diff back in the same spot as the original.
 
Hmm i have an angle on my stock diff to 7075rc mount, so not sure what you guys mean lol. Im guessing the angle is worse with the 7075rc diff boxes? I hope the new XBE chassis sorts this out. We talked about this all ready in the 7075rc post.

Hmm well mine flew out before with the stock cases. There is a slight angle with those too. I got it to stay in but just by a few cm. The motor mount is higher.
