Okay I have had these Trophy class diff cases for my T-maxx for EVER, they hold 1/8 scale diffs...the company went out of business a while ago so I have noone to call at the Manufacturer...I used to be able to go to ANY hobby shop and ask for a 7.5 diff adn they would know exactly what I needed...now I ask for them and the little snot nosed bastage at the counter turns his nose up and says " That's not a real part number" and I then get lectured by this half a person and how he knows all RC parts and he's never heard of those diffs in all of his 2 years in the hobby (end rant)......anyway I KNOW these were a real part and I know that most OFNA and Kyosho buggies ran these diffs.....My current problem is HOW DO I FREAKIN ASK FOR THE NEW VERSION OR WHATEVER TO GET A STANDARD 7.5 DIFF....I ordered an associated diff from adn RC8 to see if it will work....bt in the mean time if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.....
 
thanks guys....I think they both work...I have cups that look like the HB ones but the gears aren't hardened....I'm using AE diff cups on the ones in there now because I couldn't find replecement cups longer then the ones on there (needed more cup to compensate for the longer droop from the Kyosho shocks allowing the cvds to fall out), so I figured I'd give the whole AE diff a try...if it doesn't fit I will have 2 brand new AE diffs for sale soon....but at least I have another source to try....I wanted to swap to the FLM bulks when I tear mine down to rebuild but I can't find them anywhere....as long as I can find diffs to replace mine with the FLM bulkheads aren't important, I have a pretty solid setup now it just blew from the HV maxx I've been running on it....I really don'tlike nitro much anymore since I built this G-maxx....Clocked it at 53MPH and it will do a complete backflip on command.....the E-maxx tranny had the hardened Al gears and they got destroyed before I had 3 charges on the packs.....lovin it...
