[lavin7107]

Hostile and Dark Soul and a number of other folks make great after market upgrades for the MT. Best way to preserve them is with grease and differential boots.

didn't know that Hostile and Darksoul made upgrades for the MT

which parts do they make?

is there upgraded diff,drive and center dogbone cups available?

They do make dog bones and cups.

If you want a list of parts to scroll through to one of the Rampage web sites. Just do a google search. One of the best and cheapest is DDM.com. Some others are

Hostile and Dark Soul do not make dogbones or cups for the Redcats. They make poorly fitting boots that are for the Baja and some people get them to work better than nothing.

Diff cups would be great. Too bad I haven't seen that anyone has made these. Cybervette, you think grease works better for you than diff oil?

As seen in the url previously posted for 7075 rc he is just using the stock drive cups and just adding a sleeve over it. if anyone wants to do this you can just buy copper pipe from any local hardware store and just get a pipe cutter tool and cut them out your selfs. which did work and stop the join cups from breaking but i just started sheering the joint cup on the inside of the differential. theres really not a win for this issue that i know of at the moment besides when your jumping your MT don't hold the throttle open while landing or its just going to happen all the time.

If u temper the diff cup shafts .it helps...

 

[j_cifelli]

i tempered them to still no luck for me man. ive owned 3 rampage mt i love them but for me and my driving style and the way i build mine they just keep breaking =[

We are now discussing a new style of diff cup with the factory. Hopefully by the summer, I will have samples for testing.

 

[j_cifelli]

that would be great please keep me up to date on the samples for testing id love to get some to try.

Sounds awesome to have some stronger diff cups
