I have a 6s Traxxas slash 4x4 build, and I cannot for the life of me find differentials that do not strip out in the first run.
Any ideas of what diffs I should use?
I am running a 2,700 kv motor on a 15 tooth pinion and 50 tooth spur gear.

I wouldn't imagine that there are any 1/10 slash diffs that could hold up to 6s. Even m1.5 diffs can break under that kind of power.

Guess that might be my issue.

I’m curious if maybe I havn’t shimmed
my differentials correctly because it only became an issue when i replaced the differential housing.

BG is right. I don't think you'll be able to find any. 1/10 scales are not designed to run on 6S. Your best bet though would be to look around at sites that make custom parts for rigs and see if anyone makes diff gears/housings that are made out of some sort of hardened tool steel.
 
Maybe some Vitavon gears? As long as the maxx and slash use the same diffs this would be your best bet.

Note: they are front and rear specific.

Note 2: now that your diffs won’t be breaking, something else will lol
