Vanquish OCP v2 vs stock AR60?

[maverick67]

I'm thinking about beefing up the front axle on my U4 Bomber with the VP OCP v2 axle housing. Right now I'm using the stock AR60 with steel beef tubes installed as well as a DMG steel skid plate. If I do get the VP housing, I can probably do without the skid plate. Has anyone compared the weight of these 2 setups? The thing is, I don't want to make my rig too heavy or unbalanced.

You should be very close to weight with the Beef tubes, the Vanquish V2 has the advantage of having the inner oversize bearing for the pinion which the stock AR60 doesn't have, but you can get also Dlux AR60 plastic housings with that same mod for about $20 each

Thanks Pabust. Yeah the bigger bearing is another plus for the VP.
