I am looking into buying a nitro rustler. Will a metal diff out of a 2wd Traxxas electric fit the nitro rustler? I haven't seen any info on this and am worried if I buy one I would constantly be stripping the nylon stock gears.
 
The diff housing will not. Electric is 48p, nitro 32p. The internal planetary diff gears will. I have swapped them before. Some drills have the same gears also. Some drills a a tad too long.

The aftermarket aluminum spool should fit also.

Thanks, is there any metal housing upgrades available.

New Era had some for a nitro stampede. The nitro sport and nitro rustler had carbon fiber chassis and incredible goodies that are long gone. 😪🥺

For the electric 2wd, flm, Hot Racing, and Integy have one, buy I'd look into Integy before buying one.
