Best Ball diff
I've seen some people rant on about the GPM rear ball diff, so I want to know what is the best diff excluding that one. GH, HPI, Integy?

GPM is junk. my experiance is that it's virtually unadjustable(not to mention really over priced). It's the same as dynamite and eagle racing. Just my opinion. Try this thread: Diff

i think the GPM is a POS. my GPM's shaft bent the first week i got it from lightly tapping a wall. i would go with the Powerline rear diff. this diff is very high quality, and its also pretty inexpesive. you can get one at: www.micrors4racer.com i have one, and love it! here is a pic of the Powerline on my car:

HPI's is the best design. Team Homies and Powerline are the same thing and are exact copies of HPI's. In fact the HPI rebuild kit will work on them. I however like the HPI ball diff spur gear a bit better than the delrin that comes with the other 2.

You people still dont get it. Dynamite stuff isnt used very often, but that doesnt make it poor quality (and vice versa). GPM is a bunch of bull. Dynamite is a decent company who spends more of their income that isn't spent on paychecks, shipping(they manufacture their own products), or utility bills on making their products better. I don't even think Dynamite makes a ball diff. I use the HPI ball diff, it works nicely.... when i can get the locknut on with all the crap ur supposed to shove on the axle....

Better check your references dude. Dynamite is a label by Horizon hobby. They also sell them to GPM, and whomever wants to pay a fee to package them as their own. This happens with motors(speed300 and orion big block), springs, tires(the orion set is the same as the dynamite set),wheels (you guys ever notice that ALL aluminium wheels look the same? there is a reason why)etc.,etc.,. here's a pic:

no, he is right. I was looking for that word, but couldn't seem to find it. I just didn't think I had to make another post just to say 'you were right and I was wrong so lock me up...'

SO like I was saying in the other post, it's up to us as consumers to tell the parts companies what we want. We need to start bothering the Dynamite/GPM people by pelting them with enough email to choke their servers, or just plainly not buying the stuff.
